FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — New York Yankees Captain Aaron Judge and his ALL RISE Foundation have announced the October 2025 Mini-Grant recipients, awarding $3,000 each to three organizations supporting youth and community development across the country.
The recipients are the Junior League of San Joaquin County in California, Bulldog Pantry in Fresno County, and Reach Out and Read in Bronx County, New York.
Each organization was selected for its alignment with the foundation’s mission to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens and reach their full potential.
“These three organizations are developing leaders and good citizens, promoting literacy skills, teaching health and well-being, and serving their respective communities,” Judge said. “Because they align with the ALL RISE mission, I’m proud to champion their work and support their growth. It’s inspiring to see these programs empowering students to reach their full potential.”
In New York, Reach Out and Read of Greater New York will use its funding to provide high-quality, diverse, and bilingual children’s books to underserved families in the Bronx.
The program integrates literacy development into pediatric care to support children’s cognitive growth and family bonding.
All proceeds donated to the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Mini-Grant program go directly to youth programs in San Joaquin County, Fresno County, and the Bronx.
