Description
The Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, founded in 2001 by members of the Ripken family in memory of their patriarch Cal, Sr. By combining the principles represented by the Ripken name, the power of Cal Jr. as a modern day hero and role model, and the universal appeal of baseball, the Foundation works to create programs and facilities that positively impact youth in need. We strive to provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences that use the magic of the big leagues to inspire kids to be the best that they can be...to dream a dream that someday they can achieve great things.
