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.

Aaron & Liv's Reading Challenge

#ALLRISE to Read

We are excited to collaborate with TheLivBits and share the love of reading. 

(Linden, CA – May 4, 2020) – The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation is excited to team up with youth voice advocate Olivia Van Ledtje (@TheLivBits) to support reading & literacy. This challenge will kick off in May and run through the summer as we share lists of our favorite books, host book discussions, and celebrate our love of reading together. 

The focus of this project comes from Aaron’s love of reading that he developed while growing up. Academics played just as important a role in his development as did his love of sports. Being able to read, learn, and grow are central to Aaron. The Foundation agrees and strives to encourage the development and love of reading as essential to young people improving their skills on and off the field. 

Joining Aaron and the ALL RISE foundation on this adventure is Olivia. Olivia is a huge advocate of reading and writing for a while now, and is often referred to as a “book activist.” A quick tour of her social feed and you will find photos with authors, visiting her favorite books stores, and hosting talks with students and educators across the country. She also has her own podcast in the Pinna Audio app, called The KidLit Show where she interviews authors and illustrators about their craft. When asked about the campaign, Aaron said, "Reading was so important to me growing up, I'm excited to partner with TheLivBits to launch this initiative.” Olivia is equally excited adding: “I can’t wait for this collaboration with Aaron! Books and baseball are the perfect way to bring on summer!”

Joining Olivia is her mom, Cynthia, a long time educator, trainer, and author. In September of 2019, Olivia and Cynthia co-authored a book titled Spark Change: Making Your Mark in a Digital World. The book is about empowering youth to find their voice by centering on three ideas of citizenship, “be a good person, be critical and be an advocate for something you care about in life.” 

The campaign will run on social media on both TheLivBits and ALLRISEofficial. All updates, announcements, book discussions and more will be announced here as well. We are also working on some surprises for our participants, so stay tuned.
