TEAM REPORT

FALL 2022

Pictures are worth a million words and time well spent with an eager child is magic! That’s just what happened in August as we continue to live out the ALL RISE Foundation mission. Two hundred kids experienced the Aaron Judge Baseball ProCamp held at Forest Hills High School in Queens, NY on August 1. The campers, in first to eighth grade, enjoyed a morning filled with batting practice, playing catch, and interacting with Aaron. In addition to developing and honing their baseball skills, the campers had a chance to sit back and spend time listening to Aaron. He spoke to the enthusiastic group encouraging them to focus on their schooling, teambuilding, and character development skills to improve citizenship. Along with positive media coverage, The YES Network was there to capture the highlights of the day on film. View and experience the enthusiasm and excitement of the ProCamp by viewing the video on our website. Let’s continue to create magic! Many children in our communities are in need of support and special attention. ALL RISE Foundation continues to develop our programs to provide Mini-grant funds for programs that align with our mission and build a strong Aspiring Leaders program to enable our youth to enjoy and be successful in life. Join us in NYC - or stream live if you are unable to attend - for our inaugural NYC “All-Star Evening” Gala on Friday, November 18, 2022! For details about this exciting event see page 3. We thank you for supporting “Magic Making” and the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation.

Judge’s CHAMBERS We walk by faith, not by sight – 2 Corinthians 5:7

Being the Best We Can Be

• Leadership Development • Character Development • Health & Well-being

I remember playing baseball with my teammates and we would imagine ourselves as Barry Bonds. We thought he made this game look so easy. We dreamed of being in that big situation and bringing home that victory for our team. But even before I became a professional hitter, I had learned about having an approach at the plate and stepping into moments with a game plan. I learned that I needed to be aware of details that the pitcher was signaling to me and my teammates in how he pitched. As I came through the minors, the mental part of the game became even more important. While we are honing our baseball tools, hitting, running, throwing and fielding, we also spend time visualizing those big moments and controlling our thoughts, so we can be ready. I was lucky. As a pretty good athlete all my life, I had elite coaches helping me prepare to reach my dreams, but not everyone gets those chances. The ALL RISE Foundation wants to create activities that put these leaders in front of our youth, whether through our baseball camps, in our webinars, or by providing funding to other grass-roots organizations to fill those gaps. Giving youth the tools to reach their dreams is hard work. It involves being consistent and having a strong vision. In June, people were comparing me to some Yankee legends, which was a huge honor. At times, I had to remember that kid on the little league field and the dreams I had for such things to happen, even though I am not sure I knew who Roger Maris was back then. When asked about those comparisons I had to be honest. I am not trying to be one of those legends. I am trying to push myself to use all of my tools to be the best Aaron Judge I can be to help my team win games. It’s something all of the leaders I have been exposed to have taught me, and it's time that we do that for our kids as well. You can help support the ALL RISE Foundation through donations, spreading the word on social media and tagging @allriseofficial or spending #just5minutes with the youth in your lives. Let’s ALL RISE to help our youth be the best version of themselves they can be.

HOT OFF THE PRESS

Leadership Webinars • Leadership Development • Citizenship Development • Character Development • Education

In 2021, we launched our ALL RISE for Leadership webinar series featuring many inspiring leaders from all corners of the professional world sharing their insights. Now, we are making the recordings of those past events available as part of an exclusive members only area. Our Leadership Library will house past videos, including those featuring Aaron, and will include resources for educators to use while working with youth. Those joining our member area will also get invitations to join future live webinars free of charge. We will also continue to grow the features in our members only area to benefit educators and the youth in the classroom. Anyone teaching in an accredited institution, can contact webinars@AaronJudgeALLRISEFoundation.org from your educational email address and receive a code for access. It is our hope that the lessons shared in these continue to help youth striving to reach their goals. While there are many ways to learn leadership skills, we hope by giving access to these leaders, we are showing students that there are a variety of paths they can take, and they can reach for those possibilities.
