For over 50 years, I have called Ocean County my home. It is where I began and grew my law career with my late wife and law partner, Linda, started my family, and co-founded the Grunin Foundation. We established the Grunin Foundation to give back to the community that afforded us so many incredible opportunities. Building authentic relationships with community is the cornerstone of who we are as a Foundation, and of our work. And now today, 10 years later, we are honored to continue listening, learning and growing with the Central Jersey Shore community and beyond. Supporting organizations and experiences that connect our community is so important to us, and The Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts provides that everimportant connection through the arts, educational programming and cultural resources. The Center’s dedication to the arts and to the people of the Central Jersey Shore is evident and we are proud to be a partner in community with them.
