Why it matters
High-profile athletes using their platform to support youth sports development provides significant social value to local communities.
The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation put 232 Bronx Little Leaguers on a Fordham University field on August 11, 2026, and the Yankees captain spent the day with them while still working his way back from injury. Judge ran a free Baseball ProCamp with former Yankee Tyler Wade, a program backed by Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association. The kids came from nine neighborhood leagues, ran drills, raced by age group and posed for team photos.ALL RISE gave $9,999.99 to Bronx Little League programs for bats, baseballs and other gear, and the odd-looking figure was chosen on purpose. Judge also gave the group his answer on what matters most when you are learning the game.
