The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation believes that #Just5Minutes is all it takes to have a positive interaction with a young person in your life.

Ways to Engage

Share how you are engaging with your youth in your life by tagging us at @allriseofficial on all social channels

This initiative was inspired by the book Hey Dad! Let’s Have a Catch, by Harold Theurer, JR. In the book, Harold asks his very busy father for five minutes to play catch. Those five minutes would often turn into 15 or 20. Over the years, these moments were opportunities to connect, share stories, and converse about what was happening in their lives. 

#Just5Minutes is all it takes to start a game of catch, read a book, and have a conversation with a young person in your life. It’s a chance to connect and share “catch phrases” while putting a pause on a very busy day. In many cases, it’s the time of being together that is enough.
