Baseball's "all-time Iron Man," Cal Ripken Jr. is most recognized for having played in a record 2,632 consecutive games during his career. Through this venture, Ripken Power Shred is supporting the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, the nonprofit that bears the name of the Ripken family patriarch, dedicated to serving at-risk youth and underserved communities throughout the United States. A portion of the proceeds of all Ripken Power Shred sales will benefit the Ripken Foundation for the next five years.
"I gave Power Shred to my son's baseball team and they loved it," said Cal Ripken Jr. "It is a great source of protein and helps maintain energy levels during workouts and physical activity."
