AARON JUDGE’S ALL RISE FOUNDATION COLLABORATES WITH TALL ORDER

Tall Order releases special edition two-pack to benefit ALL RISE Foundation

NEW YORK – September 6, 2022 – Tall Order, a New York-based men’s apparel and accessory company that specializes in extended sizes is partnering with MLB All-Star Aaron Judge’s ALL RISE Foundation. The brand and organization will collaborate to release a special edition two-pack of white and navy extra cushioned ankle socks with $10 from every pack sold benefitting ALL RISE.

Ahead of the 21 st anniversary of September 11, Tall Order and the ALL RISE Foundation aim to raise funds for the foundation to continue their mission to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens by engaging them in activities that encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities. The launch of the socks follows the announcement that Tall Order and United Legwear & Apparel Co. will sponsor Judge’s ALL RISE Foundation “All-Star Evening” Gala set for November 18, 2022 in New York City.

Tall Order, which was founded by twin brothers Mike & Dan Friedman, who stand 6’11” and 6’9” respectively, honors the memory of the Friedmans’ father Andrew, who was killed on September 11, 2001 in the World Trade Center. To fulfill the “tall order” of giving back for all the help they received after 9/11, Tall Order makes fashionable, fun, comfortable socks for men in sizes 9 to 20 as a nod to the socks the family provided to first responders during the 9/11 recovery efforts; Tall Order also donates a portion of their profits to various health and human services organizations that focus on families and youth in times of need.

“We are so grateful for Tall Order’s;s support for our mission to help youth develop into strong leaders and good citizens, qualities that both Aaron, Mike and Dan exemplify.  Tall Order’s commitment to their community is unmatched and we are proud to have them as part of the ALL RISE family.” states Patty Judge, Executive Director of ALL RISE Foundation.

Judge, who’s played the last six seasons in New York, and whose foundation aims to give back to children in the area, as well as his home state of California, felt a strong connection to the brothers through their shared New York ties, desire to give back and struggles to find well-fitting clothing.

“We couldn’t be more excited to offer these socks as a means to raise money for the ALL RISE Foundation,” said Dan Friedman, Co-Founder of Tall Order. “We are honored that Aaron is such a fan of Tall Order and our mission, and we are thrilled to be able to help him with his goal of inspiring youth to reach limitless heights.”

“Everyone who knew our dad, Andy, recognized his love of children, coaching sports and giving back,” said Mike Friedman, Co-Founder of Tall Order. “What better way to honor his legacy than partnering with the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation.”

The extra cushioned ankle socks, set in Judge’s signature white and navy, will feature a heel tab for extra comfort and clip protection, cushioned sole, arch support, moisture control, smooth seams, and polyester material to provide extra stretch and ensure a soft and comfortable fit. The socks are available in regular and extended sizes. The special edition two-pack, retails for $30 and is available on TallOrder.com.

AJARF AND THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA BLOOD CENTER PARTNER TO INSPIRE GOOD CITIZENSHIP IN YOUNG ADULTS THROUGH BLOOD DONATION

The two organizations are teaming up to encourage “hometown heroes” to put service above self to save lives. 

FRESNO, CA (March 8, 2021) – The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation and the Central California Blood Center are pleased to announce their partnership to encourage children and young adults to put service above self and become blood donors. The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation holds a mission to inspire and influence youth to become responsible citizens by engaging with and serving in their communities, and extends that same call to action through blood donation. 

“Partnering with the Central California Blood Center is a natural fit for our ALL RISE mission,” says Aaron Judge, Founder of the ALL RISE Foundation. “These two organizations are motivated by service, and now more than ever, it’s crucial that this community steps up to save lives.” 

Aaron hopes that the partnership will help the Central California Blood Center overcome some of the challenges it has faced this year in collecting blood due to the continued inability to collect from school closures and other COVID related restrictions. “When I heard the numbers in a community close to my heart, I knew we had to get involved.” 

“With the continued closure of school campuses throughout our region, we have lost the opportunity to collect what would typically be anywhere from 40 to 60% of our blood units,” says Christopher Staub, President and CEO of the Central California Blood Center. “This partnership with Aaron and the ALL RISE Foundation comes at a valued time for our organization. Their support will make a huge impact not only in helping collect the blood we so desperately need, but by inspiring our children and young adults to be selfless to impact our communities for years

ALL RISE Foundation to Present the Run & Walk Against Hunger 2020 Benefiting the Stockton Emergency Food Bank

STOCKTON – The Emergency Food Bank of Stockton / San Joaquin, who produces the annual Run & Walk Against Hunger in Stockton is happy to announce that the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation has joined us this year to be the presenting sponsor of the event.  The event will now be the Run & Walk Against Hunger presented by the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation.

The ALL RISE Foundation began working with the Emergency Food Bank in 2019 as the sponsor of the event’s start line, and this year enhanced their partnership to be the presenting sponsor.  Patty Judge, Executive Director of the foundation explains why the foundation wanted to partner with the Food Bank “During this season of Thanksgiving, we are especially grateful for organizations such as The Emergency Food Bank - and for the opportunity to give back to our community through this great community event! We are very excited to be the presenting sponsor for 2020,” states Patty Judge, Executive Director of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation.  “Since it is virtual this year, Aaron will miss the in-person run, which has been his family Thanksgiving tradition for nearly 10 years but will participate virtually along with the community!  Due to COVID-19 our communities are being hit hard.  This compounds the pre-COVID community needs related to food insecurities, health, and nutrition. The Emergency Food Bank of Stockton offers a variety of programs that address these concerns.  They provide food for the hungry to improve the health and well-being of San Joaquin County including children and youth, our most vulnerable.”

“We couldn’t be more thankful to Aaron, Patty and everyone with the ALL RISE Foundation for their continued support.  They have been great partners of our event and we are happy to have their foundation be part of the event name this year.” said Leonard Hansen, Executive Director of the Emergency Food Bank of Stockton and San Joaquin.  The 2020 version of the Run & Walk Against Hunger marks the 16th year for the event.  Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the event will be virtual, but the need for the support of the food bank is larger than ever.  The Emergency Food Bank has seen a notable growth in demand for support from the community and supporting this event will help the Food Bank continue to serve those in need throughout the year.
