Aaron Boone

Manager of the New York Yankees
Bio

Aaron Boone is a prominent figure in Major League Baseball, serving as the manager of the New York Yankees, one of the most storied franchises in professional sports. Boone is part of the first family in baseball history to produce three generations of Major League players, with his father, Bob, playing 19 seasons, his grandfather, Ray, enjoying a 13-year playing career, and his older brother, Bret, playing 14 seasons. This deep-rooted baseball heritage provided Boone with a comprehensive understanding of the sport before he began his managerial career.

Boone played 12 Major League seasons, hitting .263 with 519 runs, 216 doubles, 126 home runs, 555 RBI and 107 stolen bases in 1,152 games as an infielder with six different clubs. He hit a career-high 26 home runs in one season, playing in all 162 games, and was named the Cincinnati Reds' most valuable player. Boone's legacy was cemented during Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, when he hit a walk-off home run in the 11th inning to give the Yankees a 6–5 victory over the Boston Red Sox. The home run was rated among the top 10 of all time on Baseball Tonight. That same year, Boone appeared in the MLB All-Star Game, marking a peak in his playing career.

‍

Boone was named the 33rd manager in Yankees franchise history, succeeding Joe Girardi. He began managing the Yankees and led the team to the playoffs in seven of his first eight seasons, including a World Series appearance. In his rookie managerial season, Boone guided the Yankees to a 100–62 record, becoming the sixth manager in baseball history to achieve at least 100 wins in his first season.

Kristina VanLaningham, CADC, DRCC

Operations Manager, Freedom House Inc.

IICF’s financial support has helped Freedom House provide housing and wrap around recovery support to mothers recovering from addiction. “The Family Afterward” is one of a rare few programs ensuring that mothers and children remain together and that women who have lost temporary custody of their children to foster care as a result of their addiction can reunite with them in this residential program. The impact of IICF’s support has been profound in returning children to their mother’s arms! These contributions have enabled us to serve families in need that would otherwise have to be turned away due to lack of funding and are helping mothers transition to total self-sufficiency, independently raising, nurturing and supporting their children upon graduation from the program. IICF funds help Freedom House to save lives, reunite families, and provide prevention for the next generation.
