We are so Excited… “And I just can’t hide it” as the Pointer Sisters sing out! Aaron is excited to introduce his foundation, the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation, to make an impact in his “home away for home”. Friday, November 18th, 2022, Cipriani’s on 42nd Street, in New York City will be the place to be. Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception with butler passed hot and cold hors d'oeuvres, an evening filled with opportunities to make new friends and visit with others that share Aaron’s passion for encouraging young people to develop their leadership skills and citizenship characteristics. Our silent auction items, which will include Aaron Judge memorabilia, will enhance the evening by giving attendees a chance to show their support for our programs. Gala goers will have an opportunity to purchase a Slugger Box which will contain mystery items that will turn into fantastic memory makers. Cipriani will prepare and serve an elegant three-course dinner, complete with an appetizer, entrée, and exquisite dessert, in Cipriani style.

Judge’s CHAMBER We walk by faith, not by sight – 2 Corinthians 5:7
Team Work / Teams Work Each off season, I look at my past year and determine my weaknesses. I then plan my off-season workouts, so I am ready for spring training, but more importantly for opening day. I plan carefully so I am both rested and ready when the games begin to count. I have people that guide me through this process and help me determine what work will get me where I need to be. Sometimes I get to opening day and I feel great, sometimes there are still some things that weren’t taken care of completely in all the work. It’s a process. This past off-season was unusual for a few reasons. First, as my workouts went along, I was not able to be in touch with my coaches who had helped plan my workouts. Secondly, this off-season was to be the formal introduction of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation to New York City. My team, and especially my mother - the President of the foundation – made all the plans and put in the work to be ready for the January gala. But no matter the planning, there were factors that couldn’t be foreseen. We made the difficult decision to postpone the New York All Star Evening until November 2022, to make sure everyone was safe and ready to celebrate. Just as I am excited to be back with my teammates and to see if my off-season work has me ready, I am looking forward to gathering with the supporters of the ALL RISE Foundation in November. The sponsors that continued their support through the postponement are just like my teammates. They make the work worthwhile, and they support all our efforts to having a ’winning‘ season. We have put in the work. Now it’s time to ALL RISE.

Just 5 Minutes ALL RISE will inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens by engaging them in activities that encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities. Inspired by the book Hey Dad! Let’s Have a Catch, by Harold Theurer, JR; ALL RISE is announcing our campaign of #Just5Minutes. In the book, Harold asks his very busy father for five minutes to play catch. That five minutes would often turn into 15 or 20. Over the years, these moments were opportunities to connect, share stories and have conversations about what was happening in their lives. Just 5 Minutes is all it takes to start a game of catch and have a conversation with a young person in your life. It’s a chance to connect, share “catch phrases” and other pauses in a very busy day. In many cases, it’s the time of being together that is enough We invite everyone to join us in playing catch. Over the next few months you will see videos and resources appear on our social media networks. We encourage everyone: mom, dad, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, guardian, coach, or teacher to just take five minutes and have a catch with a young person. It’s the little moments in a person's life that make a bigger difference in their growth and development as a successful human being. Please join us, virtually, Sunday, June 19, for Let's Have a Catch Day. Post a video, take a photo, and tag us on social. Let’s celebrate supporting and developing youth and making a difference in the life of a young person.
