I started the ‘Restore the Shore
Comedy Tour.’ We did a series
of shows with great entertainers
and raised over $250,000 for the
storm victims — all through laughter. The money was distributed
to Monmouth and Ocean County
food banks, as well as other local
charities. To see people have tears
from laughing instead of tears
from crying was very rewarding. I
received a key to the city in Brick
for the tour. It doesn’t open anything, but it’s a beautiful key and it
holds some incredible memories.”

K9’s for Warriors is Jeff’s favorite charity. The organization pairs
up fully trained service dogs with
wounded soldiers. As Jeff says,
“They save both the dog and
the warrior. They rescue each
other and a lifelong friendship
is bonded.” Jeff recently helped
raise over $100,000 for the charity thanks to a show that also included Big Joe Henry and Steve
Trevelise from NJ 101.5, John
Pizzi, Renee De Lorenzo, and
Alexa Pantelo.
