Dear Friends and Neighbors, Once again, welcome to our Annual Jersey Shore Greek Festival. For Greek Orthodox Christians, our faith and our Church are central to who we are and how we live our lives. Our ethnic heritage makes us so proud that we want to show you the Greek love of life and our philotimo (love of honor). So, we invite you to be Greek for a day... to taste our food and pastries, to dance with us and to learn more about our faith and heritage. We know you will have a great time!!! We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our event sponsors, those who donated of their time, talents and treasures and all those who labored tirelessly to make this weekend a reality. We hope you will support them. This festival would not be a success without each and every one of them! We would also like to thank each and every one of you for attending and making each year a success. As a way to thank the community, we have established our Jersey Shore Outreach Fund which donates back to local Monmouth County 501C3 charities a portion of the yearly Festival proceeds. Last year we were able to donate to the following charities:
KICK CANCER OVERBOARD
THE LONG BRANCH PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS PROJECT ASSIST MONMOUTH COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER’S PEDIATRIC ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC
FAMILY RESOURCE ASSOCIATESMENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATES OF MONMOUTH COUNTYFELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES
CENTRAL JERSEY BLOOD CENTER THE COMMUNITY HOPE FUND OF OCEAN TOWNSHIP
THE FOOD BANK OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES CENTRAL JERSEY JUVENILE DIABETES RESEARCH FOUNDATION
We look forward to making this festival an annual tradition for you and for your family and friends. May God bless you all, Rev. Andrew Eugenis Spiro Pappas George Moutis Proistamenos President Festival Chair
