Happy International Women’s Day! Through our I'm GREAT program, the Ripken Foundation hopes to encourage and inspire the next generation of successful women!
Look at these Badges for Baseball throwbacks from one of our oldest partners, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula! Over the years they have been a fantastic partner and have continued to help us reach of mission of positively impacting kids!
Badges for Baseball is a juvenile crime prevention and mentoring program that pairs at-risk youth and law enforcement officers using team sports to build relationships both on and off the field. Kids learn about cooperation, collaboration, and mutual respect!
We lost one of our dearest friends yesterday due to COVID-19. For over ten years, Brian Storm helped us build 100 fields. Our hearts go out to his family during this difficult time of loss. We will miss you.
Happy National Make a Friend Day!
Make a special effort today to meet (or at least talk to) someone new. You never know, your life could change forever!
Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day!
Every year, this day inspires girls and women to play and be active! Through our I’m GREAT program, we use a combination of sports and positive mentoring to empower young girls to develop into healthy young women!
