TEAM REPORT
SUMMER 2025
2025 Summer Road Trip Oh, the crack of the bat, the hot dogs and popcorn, the National Anthem, the 7th inning stretch, and the possibility of snagging a fly ball… yes, these are some of the anticipated experiences at a ball game on a warm summer night. This year, the ALL RISE Foundation is gathering together some very special folks to join us in our 2025 Summer Road Trip. This summer of 2025 just seemed like the best year to meet up at ballgames in each of our three regions as we build upon the relationships we have developed with our ALL RISE Mini-Grant recipients, the sponsors of our events, and partners of the Foundation. The 2025 Road Trip plan would gather the ALL RISE Mini-Grant recipients in each region and treat them to a baseball game in hopes that the organizations will connect with each other, build relationships, and find resources to benefit the youth in their programs. We’d have information on the Foundation, merchandise available to purchase, promote participation in the ALL RISE Summer Book Club, as well as provide an area for selfies with our ‘stand up Aaron’. We embarked on our inaugural 2025 Summer Road Trip heading to Fresno State University’s Pete Belden Field at Bob Bennett Stadium – Aaron’s Alma Mater. Although the day was a bit drizzly, we were pleased with a great turn-out, and the collaboration and relationship building between Mini-Grant recipients from Fresno County. Our “Summer Road Trip” was off to a good start. Our next stop was right up Highway 99 (it’s fitting that Hwy 99 connects Captain 99’s High School and College Alma Maters). We made a stop at the Stockton Ports Game at Banner Island Ballpark on Saturday, July 26 and enjoyed an evening promoting the ALL RISE Book Club. The Aaron Judge “Captain” Bobbleheads – given to the first 2,000 attendees – were a huge hit! The ALL RISE board members and marketing team welcomed our ALL RISE Mini-Grant recipients and supporters of the Foundation for a wonderful evening in Aaron’s home region. Then off to The Bronx – our third region! ALL RISE hosted the Aaron Judge ALL RISE ProCamps for 235 very enthusiastic kids! They enjoyed an afternoon filled with learning new baseball skills, and encouragement,
inspiration and interaction from Aaron. After the camp, our President, Patty Judge, and team members enjoyed games at Yankee Stadium with some Mini-Grant recipients and Foundation supporters. Each student we came across, we encouraged them to participate in the ALL RISE Summer Book Club – open through September 3rd. The end of our Summer Road Trip will conclude in early September as we host the 9/9 for #99 auction in collaboration with YES! Network. Keep an eye out for more details on this exciting virtual auction and items available for bidding to raise funds for the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation programs. These three regions are very important and meaningful to us because of Aaron’s life connections. They are the very heart of where we began and where we have focused our programs and initiatives. However, the ALL RISE Summer Book Club hasn’t been limited to these regions, and its popularity has expanded - reaching all across the United States and even into Canada and other countries. The thirst of engaging in a good book, and the reward of a certificate from Aaron, has made us aware that our Mission is boundless and will continue to grow – even outside of our three regions of focus. Thank you for coming along with us. Together, let’s see where this road leads!!
