Legacy
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND THE PRESIDENT
CAL, SR.’S LEGACY
Thank you for your interest in the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation. Our 2013 Annual Report
Founded to honor the legacy and life
highlights the achievements of the Foundation and our strategic goals for the future. Thanks to the help of our donors,
program partners, board of directors, and staff, this has been our most successful year in the Foundation’s history.
We have impacted over 600,000 at-risk youth with the help of 478 community-based partners and law enforcement
agencies across the country in 45 states including Washington, D.C. through all of our major initiatives: Youth
Development Programs, a National Child Protection Tool Kit, and Youth Development Parks.
of Cal Ripken, Sr., a longtime coach and mentor, the Cal
Ripken, Sr. Foundation prepares at-risk youth for life’s
challenges by teaching them critical life skills such as
teamwork, communication, hard work ethic, and respect.
Using the tenants of the “Ripken Way” (Keep it simple;
explain “the why;” celebrate the individual; and make it
fun), our sports-themed programs give youth the tools to
succeed in life.
This year we introduced our National Child Protection Tool Kit, a one-of-a-kind resource for coaches/mentors who work
with young children. This important vehicle was designed for youth-serving organizations to keep children safe from
sexual predators and those who seek to harm them. It includes our newly developed Child Protection Policy, affordable
background checks, and child safety training programs, available to any organization who registers online at
www. CRSFPortal.org.
We continue to provide proven programs including our signature program, Badges for Baseball, our core character
education curriculum, Healthy Choices, Healthy Children, our once-in-a-lifetime Ripken Summer Camp, and our College
Day Experiences. Our goal is to teach youth how to make positive choices no matter what hardships and challenges life
throws at them.
“What you do today
is practice for how you
will live tomorrow.”
— Cal Ripken, Sr.
Since 2001, the Foundation has seen steady growth and
added programs, curricula, and initiatives that fortify our
mission and ability to mentor young people in distressed
communities across the country. The profound impact
of our progress can be seen in all areas of our strategic
plan.
In 2013, the Foundation completed an additional nine Youth Development Parks bringing our total to 22 completed
fields in 13 states. These multi-purpose, synthetic turf, low-maintenance fields allow children to play, learn, and grow in
a safe, clean environment.
We hope you are inspired by the accomplishments of 2013 and want to thank all of those who helped make this year
our very best. We are excited to share this report with you as we continue to work harder to reach as many deserving
youth during those critically important after-school hours and give them the tools to succeed in life.

TRIBUTE TO THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Jay and Patty Baker have been
steadfast supporters of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation
since Jay joined the Board of Directors in 2008. In
2012, Jay took over the reigns as Chairman of the
Foundation and under his leadership, the Foundation has
been propelled forward onto the national stage.
Jay and Patty Baker have contributed their time and
resources to the success of the Foundation and the hard
work that we do. They believe in our mission to help atrisk youth succeed in life through the teachings of Cal,
Sr. using our sports-themed programs. Together Jay and
Patty built Baker Field in 2012, one of our most recent
Youth Development Parks in Naples, Florida.
They also created the Baker Initiative that served as the
catalyst for the Foundation’s ability to reach one million
kids each year via our new online portal,
www.CRSFPortal.org. This online resource has allowed the
Foundation to be able to reach hundreds of thousands of
children over the last year and created a medium for our
new National Child Protection Policy that helps to ensure
the safety of young children all over the country.
Finally in 2013, Jay and Patty inspired thousands of
supporters to give to the Foundation by creating the
“Chairman’s Challenge.” This $5 million matching grant
gave incentive to contributors and further solidified the
Bakers’ commitment to the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation’s
mission and all that we do. And over the last six years,
the Bakers have sent over 1,000 children to the
Foundation’s Ripken Summer Camp.
Jay Baker

Jay’s two-year term will end in June 2014, but we wanted
to recognize the efforts of the Bakers and honor the
legacy that they will leave behind not only for their vision
but for their unwavering passion for the kids we serve
and the programs that give them the tools to reach their
goals in life.
Thank you, Jay and Patty Baker!
Program Evaluation
PROGRAM EVALUATION
The Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation
contracted with Keswick Advisors to perform an
independent, three-year evaluation of our national
Badges for Baseball program. Keswick Advisors was
founded by Dr. Jeffrey L. Sedgwick, former professor at
the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and former
Assistant Attorney General of the United States.
In 2009, 2010, and 2011, a random stratified
sampling of all Badges for Baseball program sites was
conducted. Staff at participating sites were trained
on evaluation implementation and responsibilities to
ensure data integrity and retain program participation.
Both quantitative and qualitative data on participants’
behaviors was collected from parents, teachers/mentors,
and public safety officials in an effort to holistically
monitor and assess program effectiveness in
encouraging academic involvement, positive peer group
associations, and avoidance of substance abuse.
Collectively, 7,141 youth were evaluated by a parent,
teacher/mentor, and a local law enforcement official.
Using the data, Keswick Advisors evaluated changes in
the behavior of youth who participated in the Badges
for Baseball program. The information gathered
helps ensure that Badges for Baseball programs are
implemented successfully and positive mentoring
relationships are being established. The results speak
for themselves.
The Foundation is currently working with Keswick
Advisors again to complete a three-year case study
evaluation of the Youth Development Park (YDP) located
in Richmond, Virginia. This evaluation is slated to
be complete at the end of 2014 and will provide the
Foundation with a comprehensive view of the effects of
a YDP and associated programming. This case study
approach includes community assessments, focus
groups, and interviews with participants to gauge the
impact of a YDP on an entire community.
• 94% of law enforcement mentors reported that participants had become
more comfortable interacting with officers.
• 84% of parents observed kids living a healthier lifestyle.
• Over 88% of law enforcement mentors noticed kids behaving more
responsibly and better able to give good reasons for their actions.
• Over 77% of teachers and mentors noticed participants setting short-
term goals for themselves, demonstrating a willingness and ability to plan
for the future.
• 69% of parents said that kids were hanging out with a more positive
group of friends.
• 89% of teachers and mentors saw participants as more comfortable
interacting with public safety officers.

Youth Development Park Initiative
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PARK INITIATIVE
One of the primary initiatives
of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation is to provide clean,
safe places for children to learn, play, and grow. Our
Youth Development Parks are multi-purpose, synthetic
surface, low-maintenance fields designed to provide
at-risk youth with recreational, educational, and
athletic experiences. The parks, both regular turf and
rubberized surfaces for children with special needs, are
transforming and engaging communities to take pride in
their neighborhoods.
In 2013, the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation completed nine
new Youth Development Parks bringing our total to 22
parks towards a goal of building 50 by 2016. Currently,
we have parks operating in Connecticut, Florida, Kansas,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New
York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
The Park Heights Field at the C.C. Jackson Recreation
Center in Baltimore, Maryland was opened in November
2013. Like every Youth Development Park that we
create, this $1.5 million, state-of-the art facility was
designed as a safe haven for at-risk youth to play. The
Park Heights Field will support not only the Foundation’s
baseball- and softball-themed programs but also other
youth sports programs that teach life lessons and give
underserved youth the tools to make good choices in
life.
The Foundation has 20 national Youth Development Park
projects that are under construction or in the fundraising
or design stages. These parks will be symbols of hope in
distressed neighborhoods and will give youth meaningful
experiences that ultimately contribute to the positive
change in their lives and within their communities.

BADGES FOR BASEBALL
HEALTHY CHOICES, HEALTHY CHILDREN
Our signature program, Badges for
Baseball, was created in partnership with the U.S.
Department of Justice and connects law enforcement
officers with at-risk youth during the critical out-ofschool hours when they are most likely to commit or
become a victim of crime. Officers throughout America
are helping to open the eyes of young people to their
own potential, and teaching them how to make smart
decisions for a better future. Using sports as the hook,
law enforcement engage youth and deliver a powerful
message about how to succeed in the game of life.
Healthy Children curriculum with additional, easyto-read flipbooks. These handheld resources focus
on “Fitness,” “Nutrition,” “Civics & Leadership,”
and “Financial Literacy.” We also partnered with
internationally recognized JASON Learning to create the
“STEM Careers” curriculum guide. And we collaborated
with Rachel’s Challenge, a Colorado-based nonprofit
that reaches over 2 million students a year, to develop
our “Rise Above Bullying” flipbook. Each new flipbook
allows our mentors and coaches to incorporate fun and
fresh ways to keep kids active and thinking healthy.
The cornerstone of our programming is Healthy Choices,
Healthy Children. Endorsed by the Association for
Middle Level Education, this curriculum guides mentors
in helping kids develop sound decision-making skills by
discussing choices and their consequences. Over the
last two years we have expanded our Healthy Choices,
Together, Badges for Baseball, and Healthy Choices,
Healthy Children, support our mission of helping kids
learn to make smart choices and grow into healthy,
self-sufficient adults. Partnerships with federal and state
government organizations, combined with support from
private corporations, continue to help the Foundation
impact kids over the long term while using resources
efficiently and effectively. In 2013, 75 organizations in
18 states ran Badges for Baseball. We also started two
brand new Badges for Baseball programs in Salisbury,
MD and Columbia, South Carolina.
Here is a snapshot of some of our most
successful partnerships.
”Building relationships is
key to success in school,
work, and life—and the
cornerstone of every
healthy relationship is
respect.”

Child Protection
NATIONAL CHILD PROTECTION TOOL KIT
Keeping the kids we serve safe
is a top priority. In 2013, the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation
participated in a two-day summit on March 19 and 20,
hosted by the National Center for Missing & Exploited
Children. Youth-sports organizations and issue experts
met to discuss what further steps the industry could
take to prevent child sexual abuse. At the summit’s
conclusion, the Foundation made a resolve to launch our
National Child Protection Tool Kit.
This new initiative is designed for youth-serving
organizations to keep children safe from sexual
predators and those who seek to harm them. The
first-of-its-kind resource includes our newly developed
Child Protection Policy, affordable background checks
and child safety training programs, available to any
organization in America at no cost to all who registers
online at www.CRSFPortal.org.
Online Training Portal
CRSFPortal.org is a one-stop-shop to access training
materials, video content, and interact with peers across
the country. This online platform supports the daily work
and professional development of coaches, mentors, and
anyone else whose goal is to ensure that kids have the
necessary skills to succeed in life. Through the portal,
coaches can access tools for youth development “The
Ripken Way,” as well as connect with peers to share
best practices and experiences.
Affordable Background Checks
Recognizing that background checks can be cost
prohibitive, the Foundation has partnered with First
Advantage to ensure that our partners and affiliates
have the ability to access comprehensive background
checks at an affordable price.

• Over 85 hours of online
training provided to program

SUMMER CAMPS
Hundreds of kids from program
sites in 21 states across the country came to Aberdeen,
Maryland, for weeklong, overnight camps hosted by
the Foundation. All of the campers were provided with
baseball equipment, donated by several corporate
sponsors including: Rawlings, Louisville Slugger, and
Marucci Sports, clothing from Under Armour, lodging,
and—with help from our sponsor, Southwest Airlines—
airfare.
Through our collaboration with the national law
enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshals
Service, Maryland National Guard, and U.S. Secret
Service, the kids are able to experience a mobile
command center, a helicopter landing, canine units, and
other exciting demonstrations. Of course, the kids are
also exposed to other youth from all over the country.
They play baseball and softball, challenge themselves
on a ropes course, climb a rock wall, fly across the zip
line, and swim, enjoying the pleasures of just being a
kid. All activities and guest speakers reinforce important
life lessons—like the importance of teamwork, personal
responsibility, and communication—which are taught
through their local Badges for Baseball programs.
For many of these kids, this is the first time they have
gone to camp, traveled out of state, or been on an
airplane. Our programs are all about experiences, and
the look of excitement we see on their faces—eyes
glued to the airplane windows at 20,000 feet or smiling
when they climb to the top of the rock
wall—priceless.

YOUTH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL CAMPS
Texas Outreach
The Foundation conducted camps in 14 states and
the District of Columbia where 5,652 kids learned the
fundamentals of the game as well as life lessons such
as teamwork, communication, and respect. A portion of
the camps are run in partnership with the Major League
Baseball Players Alumni Association, allowing kids to
meet and learn from former major leaguers.
The Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation has made a considerable
effort to expand our programmatic footprint in the
state of Texas. Our staff traveled to Texas to introduce
our Healthy Choices, Healthy Children and Quickball
programs to youth throughout Texas. Our goal is to reach
the over 400,000 kids that are currently attending afterschool programs and bring them our character education
curriculum that gives kids the tools to succeed in life on
and off the field.
College Day Experience
As part of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation’s goal of
encouraging young people to continue toward a path
of educational attainment, we offer the opportunity to
attend special experiences in partnership with colleges
and universities. These one-day events provide at-risk
youth with their first exposure to college life and all
that it has to offer. Important elements of each college
day include: tour on campus; interaction with student
athletes; Foundation led educational and athletic
activities; guest speakers and special presentations;
opportunity for youth to discuss avenues toward higher
education; and exposure to life-long opportunities.

5,652 kids participated during
35 camps across the country
334 at-risk youth had the college

In September 2013, the Badges for Baseball sites in
Wisconsin attended a College Day Experience at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. Kids were treated to
guest speakers, a tour around campus, and games of
Quickball on the Camp Randall on-campus football field.
Each child enjoyed lunch at the university and left with
gifts given to them by the school.
And in October 2013, 71 youth were treated to a day
of fun in the Eddie Smith Field House at the University
of North Carolina where they played Quickball with
members of the women’s tennis team and men’s
football team. The kids went on a campus tour led by
students in Greek life where they were given an upclose look at life on a college campus. After the campus
tour, while youth ate lunch, former Athletic Director,
Dick Baddour, a member of the women’s fencing team,
and a member of the men’s football team shared their
experiences at the University of North Carolina and what
it meant to be a part of their athletic department.

Military Outreach
MILITARY OUTREACH
In 2013, the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation
provided the Healthy Choices, Healthy Children character
education curriculum to 60 military installations,
enabling 4,814 kids to participate in the program.
Over 100 mentors implemented the Foundation’s
programming from military installations consisting
of Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, Army
National Guard and Army Reserves, ensuring youth
experience positive, activity-based programs “The Ripken
Way.” The Healthy Choices, Healthy Children curriculum
and Ripken Quickball produces an overwhelmingly
positive response, yielding many success stories of
teamwork, sportsmanship, and communication.
Summer Camp
During the summer of 2013, the Foundation hosted 44
kids with a parent or family member in the military to
attend the Ripken Summer Camp for a once–in-a-lifetime
experience where they were outfitted from head-to-toe in
brand new baseball attire and participated in baseball
activities, a challenge course, and outdoor recreational
activities and got to meet other kids from the program
from across the country.

in schools and youth-serving organizations across the
nation.
The UNCOMMON Athlete is an assembly program
aimed at exposing athletes to Rachel and Cal, Sr.’s
stories and challenging them to be uncommonly good
and wise in their lives on and off the playing field.
“Rise Above Bullying” is a curriculum that is cobranded by the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation and
Rachel’s Challenge and is currently being used by both
organizations to educate and arm young people and their
mentors about the issue of bullying.
The Ripken Journey is a 10-week program that will
become a part of the Friends of Rachel (FOR) Clubs and
will be aimed at shaping character and moral being.
By working together in the delivery of programs and
resources, the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation and Rachel’s
Challenge will broaden their reach and deepen their
impact; providing hope and positive alternatives to kids
and the adults who guide them.

Uncommon
Colorado-based nonprofit, Rachel’s Challenge,
is founded on the life and writings of Rachel
Joy Scott who was the first student killed at
Columbine High School in 1999. She was 17
years old. Rachel left a legacy of reaching out
to those who were different, who were picked
on by others, or who were new at her school.
After her death, stories poured in from her
peers about the impact she had on their
lives. Rachel’s family created Rachel’s
Challenge: a series of student empowering
programs and strategies that equip students
and adults to combat bullying and allay
feelings of isolation and despair by creating
a culture of kindness and compassion.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Independent Auditors Report
To the Board of Directors of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, Inc.:
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements
of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation),
which comprise the statements of financial position
as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related
statements of activities and cash flows for the years
then ended, and the related notes to the financial
statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the
Financial Statements
“The game of baseball
is made up of many
things. If we do all the
little things right, then
we’ll never have a big
thing to worry about.”
— Cal Ripken, Sr.
24
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair
presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted
our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained
in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend
on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial
position of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, Inc. as of
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in its
net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
OTHER MATTERS
Other Information
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming
an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The
schedule of expenditures of Federal awards, as required
by Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133,
Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit
Organizations is presented for purposes of additional
analysis, and is not a required part of the financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relates directly
to the underlying accounting and other records used
to prepare the financial statements. The information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and
certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the
financial statements or to the financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED BY
Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with the Government Auditing Standards,
we have also issued our report dated April 23, 2014
on our consideration of the Foundation’s internal
control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of
our testing of internal control over financial reporting
and compliance and the results of that testing, and
not to provide an opinion on the internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering the
Foundation’s internal control over financial reporting and
compliance.

There are many ways in which
you can help the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation. Your
financial support will allow us to continue to offer
important programs for underserved youth.
Donate online
It’s easy! Make a tax-deductible donation online
at www.ripkenfoundation.org.
Match your gift
Contact your company’s human resources
department to find out if your employer matches
charitable donations, and you could double your
investment.
Event sponsorships
Sponsor one of our many special events
throughout the year.
Gifts of stock
If you use publicly-traded stocks, bonds, or
mutual fund shares to make your gift, you will
receive an additional tax benefit: the IRS allows
you to make your transfer to the Cal Ripken, Sr.
Foundation without recognizing capital gains on
the appreciation. You can make a larger donation
than you could make with cash and receive a
larger tax deduction.
Planned giving
Regardless of your age or the size of your estate,
there are many vehicles that allow you to balance
your own income needs, the needs of your family,
and your philanthropic interests.
You can also contact our offices at
1-877-RIPKEN-1 or 410-823-0808 about gift
opportunities.
Thank you!
