The Jersey Shore Partnership Foundation Unveils Honorees for Annual Summer Celebration 2025

TINTON FALLS, N.J. - Feb. 12, 2025 - PRLog -- The Jersey Shore Partnership Foundation  (JSP) is excited to announce the honorees for the highly anticipated Summer Celebration 2025, a beloved tradition of over 30 years, to be held at Sandy Hook, a scenic barrier peninsula within the Gateway National Recreation Area, managed by the National Park Service (NPS). JSP is thrilled to return to Sandy Hook for another unforgettable beachside celebration. Join us on Monday, May 19th from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m., with sponsorship opportunities now available.

The Summer Celebration serves as the unofficial start of summer and is widely recognized as the "networking event of the year" along the Jersey Shore. Featuring live entertainment from Brian Kirk & The Jirks and culinary delights from over 40 community restaurants and purveyors, the event attracts a diverse audience of corporate leaders, non-profits, environmentalists, academics, and elected officials—all united by a common goal: the protection and preservation of New Jersey's coastline.

"We're thrilled to recognize dynamic leaders in our Jersey Shore community and to share the exciting news that we are returning to the stunning beachside location at Sandy Hook, which we introduced last year. Together, we're truly making waves of positive change and strengthening the resilience of coastal living and conservation." Grace Hanlon, Executive Director, The Jersey Shore Partnership
