Each year, the NJN Foundation hosts a Benefit to celebrate and promote the very best of New Jersey, and to raise significant funds from the state’s corporate and business communities to support NJN Public Television and Radio, New Jersey’s public broadcasting network. These funds help NJN advance its public service mission to provide a vibrant forum for ideas and learning, arts and culture, and civic engagement - - on air, online and in the community.
