Kate S. Tomlinson, Publisher and Editor in Chief of New Jersey Monthly, and Michael J. Smith, President of Berkeley College and Presenting Sponsor, announced the winners at a dinner on September 13, 2017, at the Park Chateau in East Brunswick, NJ.

New Jersey Monthly asked for nominations of NJ companies that are generous to the community, in terms of financial support, in-kind giving, volunteerism and sharing expertise. Next, the nominated companies were asked to submit data and commentary on their charitable contributions and volunteerism. An independent committee of judges comprised of William H. Byrnes, Vice President, Grants, F.M. Kirby Foundation; Hans Dekker, President, Community Foundation of New Jersey; Dennis Miller, Managing Director for The Nonprofit Search Group; and Abby O’Neill, Principal, Abby O’Neill Consulting, LLC selected the ten winners.

“The companies that are finalists and winners range from small companies to some of the state’s largest,” says Tomlinson. “They are in diverse industries. And they support a myriad of charities and causes. Yet they all have one thing in common—a passion for helping to make life better here in the Garden State.”

The magazine will showcase the Great Oak Awards winners in the November issue. Information and photos can be found at https://njmonthly.com/articles/jersey-living/jersey-companies-give-back-great-oak-awards/.
