The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation has announced the opening of the second annual 9/9 for 99 virtual auction to raise funds in support of programs and initiatives that align with the mission to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens by engaging them in activities that encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities.
The 9/9 for 99 online auction, in collaboration with YES Network, opens on Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2025, and closes on Tuesday, Sept. 9 (9/9), 2025. An exciting variety of items are available for bidding – ranging from New York Yankees Stadium experiences, meet and greet opportunities with Aaron Judge, a YES Network Studio Tour, vacation destinations, and ALL RISE Swag, to mention a few. To view items, register and bid - go to allrise99.givesmart.com.
Funds raised through the auction support the ALL RISE programs and initiatives including Mini-Grants that support youth-based projects, scholarships for high school seniors to pursue higher education, and investing in student leaders by sponsoring their participation in leadership development programs.
This auction came about because of a friendship.
“My friend, John J. Filippelli, (Flip), has been meeting with me regularly since 2017, Aaron’s second year with the New York Yankees. At that time, Flip was President of the YES Network. Now retired, he serves as a senior advisor for YES,” Patty Judge, Aaron’s mom and ALL RISE President, shared. “Flip has been a mentor of mine – always sharing business strategies for the ALL RISE Foundation. The idea of an online auction came up in one of our conversations – and off the top of his head, he said ‘9/9 for 99’ and it stuck. After the success of the inaugural 9/9 for 99 Auction in 2024, we are pleased to bring it back this season.”
The ALL RISE Foundation has had a great impact on programs throughout the nation. Since 2018 they have invested $87,000 into their Aspiring Leaders initiative; granted $109,500 in Mini-Grants; hosted 1,205 children at baseball camps; and provided free registration to educators, students and parents to attend Leadership Master Class webinars, to name a few.
The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation focuses on developing positive character traits; provides awards and incentive programs for schools and local organizations to encourage and reward academic improvement and excellence; supports children and youth experiencing difficult health and family circumstances; and fundraising events to support ALL RISE Mini-Grants and Programs.
