In a guest essay for Technical.ly, Cal Ripken, Jr. discussed how supporting #STEM education through #CRSF is an endeavor inspired by his dad and the importance of partnerships to achieve our goals and expand our reach. "When we first started, our goal was simply to honor dad and help a few kids in our hometown of Aberdeen, #Maryland. A lot has changed since then. Dad would be blown away by how much the foundation has grown into its current national scope." - CRJ "I’ve always said that we can do a lot of good things on our own, but with dedicated charitable partners, we can achieve great things. Our partnerships with Exelon, Tennessee Valley Authority, Group 1001, Devon Energy and so many more organizations are proof." -CRJ #YouthFoundation #nonprofit #education
We don’t usually have sports legends write for us but when Sameer Rao heard about Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation’s work launching 500 STEM centers across the nation — he got the Baltimore Orioles “Iron Man” to pen an essay on the mission.

4moLove how Cal honors his dad in this piece. Plus, this: "I’ve always said that we can do a lot of good things on our own, but with dedicated charitable partners, we can achieve great things." So true. Thanks for helping underserved kids across the country. Keep making a difference.
