Our Story
Our Mission
The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation inspires youth to become responsible citizens by engaging them in activities that encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities.
From Dream to Purpose
Have you heard the story of a little boy who grew up in Linden, California, and grew up to become the Captain of the New York Yankees? That little boy is now six feet seven inches tall, and he’s committed to giving back. He’s using his platform to support children and youth, encouraging them to grow into responsible, empowered citizens.
Too many communities are facing challenges: youth struggling with underdeveloped citizenship skills and a lack of hope for their future. That’s why the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation exists. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens by engaging them in activities that encourage them to reach for unlimited possibilities.

Our founder, Aaron Judge, was honored with the 2023 Roberto Clemente Award for his contributions both on and off the field, including his dedication to the ALL RISE Foundation.
