“Badges for Baseball”

Published Date: 2008-08-20 06:16:47

Virginia is the national model for the “Badges for Baseball” program. Two years ago representatives of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation met with Department of Justice officials to discuss ways to bring programs run by the Foundation to at-risk youth. After that meeting, the “Badges for Baseball” program was created. Thanks to Virginia’s proven track-record of innovation with public safety programs, and its success with prevention and intervention initiatives, the Foundation identified the Commonwealth as the best state in which to inaugurate “Badges for Baseball” as a statewide initiative. Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell was asked to take the lead and coordinate the law enforcement partners. The Office of the Attorney General worked with the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation and rolled out the program in 2007.

Score for the Poor, a Fun Soccer Camp That Help’s the Elderly

Published Date: 2008-08-20 02:20:08

The Score for the Poor took place this year from August 11^th to 15^th, and the camp has steadily grown from its humble beginnings as a way for Emily and her family to help the Little Sisters of the Poor and her thought that “everyone can make a difference,” and now includes neighbors and friends who have heard about the camp through word of mouth. Emily organizes the camp from tie-dyeing the t-shirts to creating and hand decorating specific instructions for the various counselors to creating fun games like “Duck Duck Goose” for children aged 3 to easy soccer skill building for older children that work on speed, ball control and kicking and of course each camp day ends with a game of kick ball and popsicles.  According to Emily the main idea is “to have fun as well as build confidence and self-esteem through lots of praise” and the camp of course includes lots of stickers!
