“UA Next All-America Game is an opportunity to support the next generation on and off the field,” said Bill Ripken. “The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation is doing critical work to give kids a safe place to learn and grow, and we’re proud to have this event contribute to their mission.”
The Foundation, co-founded by Cal Ripken, Jr. and Bill Ripken in honor of their father, uses sports-themed programs and the creation of Youth Development Parks to positively impact communities across the country. Since 2001, the nonprofit has reached more than 12 million young people in all 50 states and 24 countries. Fans who are unable to attend the game can make a donation to the foundation here.
