Speaking at the launch, Jeremy Grunin, Executive Director stated, “One of the Grunin Foundation’s key tenets is to Engage Toms River by encouraging individual initiative, ability and creativity. The Engage Toms River YouTube Challenge is a fun way to show off Toms River’s creative energy. The idea was inspired by High School East’s lip dub, which has more than 124,000 views on YouTube. If you haven’t seen it, watch it! It’s amazing and fun—their energy pops off the screen.  We’re looking for more of that!”
