Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation (AJARF) has announced they will be holding their inaugural New York “All-Star Evening” Gala on January 26, 2022. The evening will include a cocktail reception, delicious dinner, exciting auction items, Aaron Judge memorabilia, and an engaging program including special guests.

AJARF began their annual “All-Star Evening” events in January of 2019, in Aaron’s hometown of Linden, California. The following fall, it was held in Aaron’s home away from home, Fresno, California, where Aaron attended Fresno State University. (Go Bulldogs!) The Foundation is proud to finally be able to bring our family and the Foundation to Aaron’s new home, New York City. Since the launch of AJARF, we have been fortunate to be able to put the AJARF mission into action and help our youth learn and grow.

“The mission of ALL RISE is to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens and encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities,” said Aaron Judge, New York Yankees outfielder and Founder of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation. “We are excited to be expanding our programs and collaborations into the New York region as we strive to make a real difference for the kids who need it the most.”

“As we build the momentum for the “All-Star Evening” gala, we are thrilled to be engaged with the great people at Tall Order and United Legwear & Apparel Company as our VIP Reception Sponsor,” states Patty Judge, Presidents of AJARF (and Aaron’s mother). “As the VIP Reception Sponsors, they are setting the pace for what we believe will be a highly successful event, raising thousands of dollars to support youth in the New York region. It is because of the generous support of our sponsors that we can continue to live out our mission.”

Proceeds from the “All-Star Evening” events support ALL RISE programs and initiatives such as: Aaron Judge Baseball ProCamps that focus on developing positive character traits; awards and incentive programs in schools and local organizations to encourage and reward academic improvement and excellence; supports children and youth experiencing difficult health and family circumstances; and ALL RISE Mini Grants. The ALL RISE Mini-Grants support their mission by providing opportunities to non-profit organizations throughout the regions they support to encourage and fund student participation at Leadership Development Conferences and Camps; and engage in Citizenship Programs and School assemblies to improve the culture and climate of school campuses.

[Linden, CA] Aaron Judge, New York Yankee and former Fresno State Bulldog, and founder of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation (AJARF) is proud to announce the Fall 2021 Mini-Grant recipients, each receiving $2,500. These three organizations connect with the AJARF’s mission to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens and reach unlimited possibilities.  

Greater Yosemite Council, BSA, San Joaquin County, California has a mission to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. This grant will support their STEM Nova program, designed to encourage natural curiosity and sense of wonder by giving Scouts opportunities to participate in activities, such as robotics and aviation.  The hands-on learning with real-world applications encourages development in a variety of areas, including 21st-century skills and STEM. These skills, such as media literacy, communication, problem-solving, and collaboration, ensure youth will thrive in a world that is constantly evolving.

Fresno Police Chaplaincy, Fresno County, California partners with law enforcement to bring hope to the community through education, mentorship, and counseling services. This grant will support Project STEALTH, which was created to positively impact both youth and families by providing leadership development opportunities through 18-week classes geared to help teens develop positive self-awareness.  Boys and girls will be paired with adult mentors who help them discover ways to handle anger, develop leadership skills, increase their self-awareness, and resolve conflicts.  Lastly, Project STEALTH also takes its students on field trips to expose them to different environments, in hopes of enriching their lives.

Sheltering Arms Children and Family Services, Bronx County, New York has maintained an unwavering commitment for the past 200 years to foster a society where every child and family will have the opportunity to succeed and thrive. They work with the most challenged communities to offer a range of services, such as educational opportunities for economically, disadvantaged children, shelter and casework services for homeless youth, and stigma-free mental health services in community-based settings.  This grant will support ongoing mentoring and community service projects for at-risk youth of the NYCHA Patterson Houses, in hopes of inspiring youth to become responsible citizens.

“Although the Mini-Grant recipients have diverse programs, they all have one thing in common with AJARF, which is the commitment to empower our youth by giving them the skills necessary to reach their unlimited possibilities. I am proud to partner with these organizations in their important work of building responsible citizens,” said AJARF founder, Aaron Judge.

The 2021 Mini-Grant Award Program is possible due to the generous support of Glu Mobile. All funds donated for the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation Mini-Grant Program go directly to children and youth programs in San Joaquin County, California; Fresno County, California; and Bronx County, New York, that support ongoing citizenship and education development.

Tall Order and United Legwear & Apparel Co. support the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation's mission to inspire children & youth to become responsible citizens

NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tall Order, a New York-based men's apparel and accessory company that specializes in extended sizes, along with their partner, United Legwear & Apparel Co. (ULAC), are proud to announce their VIP Reception Signature Sponsorship of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation "All-Star Evening" Gala on January 26, 2022.

"The mission of ALL RISE is to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens and encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities," said Aaron Judge, New York Yankees outfielder and Founder of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation. "I am excited to broaden our involvement with the youth of New York, through our Mini-Grants, ALL RISE Baseball ProCamps, and other exciting programs and initiatives!"

"As we have expanded our focus to engage with youth in New York, the enthusiasm for the "All-Star Evening" Gala has been overwhelming. Our goals are driven by our dreams for the future. Exciting times are ahead for the New York youth, as our initiatives, programs and collaborations continue to grow. We are thankful to Tall Order and United Legwear & Apparel Co. for their commitment as the VIP Reception Signature Sponsor of our "All-Star Evening." Proceeds from this inaugural New York event will make a real impact for our New York kids," stated Patty Judge, President of AJARF and Aaron's mother.

Started by twin brothers Mike & Dan Friedman, who stand 6'11" & 6'9" respectively, Tall Order 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.

To grow their business and break into new categories of apparel, Tall Order entered into a partnership with United Legwear & Apparel Co. for design, development and manufacturing, and will soon announce the addition of underwear and tee shirts to their current line of men's accessories in the coming months.

"Working with Patty Judge and the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation is an honor," said Lisa Friedman Clark, President of Tall Order. "Andrew was a fanatical Yankee fan and passed his love of the team to Mike and Dan. Now my sons, who rival Aaron in height, can pay it forward by helping youth in the communities in and around the Bronx as well as other areas. What a meaningful way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11/01. Andy is beaming."
