Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation

Big News! Ripken STEM is officially in Utah thanks to the generous support of The Kahlert Foundation. This week marked an exciting milestone as educators gathered for the first phase of training that will support the installation of 13 elementary school STEM Centers throughout Salt Lake City. These Centers will provide students with hands-on learning experiences designed to spark curiosity, strengthen problem-solving skills, and inspire the next generation of innovators.

Thank you to all our sponsors, supporters, and participants who joined us for this year's golf event. Your generosity and commitment make a meaningful difference in helping the Ripken Foundation continue its mission of providing youth with opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. See you next year!

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. As we gather with family and community, we pause in gratitude for those who gave so much for the freedoms we share.

We are incredibly grateful to them for their commitment to opening doors, sparking curiosity, and shaping brighter futures every day.

This National Police Week, we honor the officers who go above and beyond.

Through the Badges program, law enforcement officers are mentoring underserved youth, building trust, and strengthening communities for one child at a time.

Thank you for your commitment to making a lasting difference both on and off the field.

Camp is more than just fun, it’s a life-changing experience every kid deserves. At the Ripken Foundation Summer Camp in Aberdeen, kids build confidence, form lasting friendships, and learn valuable life skills in a safe and supportive environment.

For many of the children we serve, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to simply be a kid, explore new interests, and create unforgettable memories.

You can help make that experience possible. It takes $1,000 to send a child to camp, visit our website to donate and change a life this summer.
