Aaron Judge reveals reason to start All Rise Foundation
In January, Aaron Judge's All Rise Foundation held an “All Star Evening” at Cipriani Wall Street. It was a successful event, raising nearly $800,000 which will be used to further the efforts of the foundation.
“This is what it’s all about,” Judge said. “Given the gift of playing Major League Baseball here in New York, I’ve got a lot of great things, and a lot of people around me that supported me along the way. This is our opportunity to give back to the next generation, that next group that’s coming along the way.”
The All Rise Foundation was started by Aaron Judge and his mother, Patty, who serves as the executive director of the foundation, in 2018.
“It’s just really to inspire the next generation to be better citizens, better students, family members, everything,” Judge said. “It’s to push them a little bit in school and get to that next level. We’ve got different after-school programs, mini-grants. There’s a whole slew of things on the way to get them in the best position to be better citizens.”
Aaron Judge attempts to impact both New York City and his hometown of Linden, California, through the foundation.
