Our Story
Have you heard the story about a little boy who grew up in Linden, California and now is the right fielder for the New York Yankees? Did you know this little guy is now six feet seven inches and is looking for support to encourage children and youth in our communities to become responsible citizens?
Many of our communities are facing problems related to our children & youth demonstrating underdeveloped citizenship and a lack of possessing hope for their future. The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization established by Aaron to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens by engaging them in activities that encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities.
Since our launch in 2018, we have had tremendous opportunities to engage in our hometown of Linden, CA and more recently in Fresno. The first Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation Baseball ProCamp took place on Aaron’s high school baseball field in his hometown of Linden, California. This camp was free of charge for kids ages nine through fourteen. It was such a success that we held our second last year on the field where Aaron played for Fresno State University.
Our “All Star Evening” fundraisers have also become annual events, and have sold out both years. The evening includes a reception, dinner, a program including a message from our founder, silent auction, and live auction. We are so grateful to the participants that helped us establish a strong financial foundation to do our business of developing responsible citizens.
ALL RISE was proud to send 118 students of Linden Unified School District fifth through twelfth graders to leadership conferences, in 2019 as part of the ALL RISE Aspiring Leaders program. Students gained valuable information to plan activities that will enhance the culture and climate of their schools.
Our youths will benefit from our focus to inspire, engage, and encourage. ALL RISE strives to take advantage of every opportunity to make a difference. You can hear about our latest programs by signing up for our newsletter here.
Other programs we have partnered with since our founding:
ALL RISE joined with GENYOUth via PepsiCo to promote “Fuel Up to Play 60” at Linden High School. “Fuel Up to Play 60” is the leading in-school nutrition and physical activity program in the country launched by National Dairy Council and NFL, in collaboration with the USDA, to encourage today's youth to lead healthier lives. As a result of this partnership, GENYOUth and PepsiCo donated a nutrition cart to Linden High School. Healthy students lead to healthy learning.
We partnered with the New York Yankees and with #ICANHELP to support and participate in the Yankees’ Bronx Educational All-Star Day designed to celebrate academic success, community service involvement, and leadership skills of nine thousand Bronx students in fifth through eighth grade.
As we grow, we will continue to stretch our wings to become involved in the greater San Joaquin County, Fresno County and New York while continuing to support Aaron’s hometown of Linden.
