Diamond Dream Fine Jewelers Named Great Oak Awards Finalist

Bernardsville, New Jersey, May 27, 2015 (Newswire.com) - 64 Garden State Companies Named Great Oak Awards Finalists

New Jersey Monthly to honor the state’s most philanthropic companies.

New Jersey Monthly continues its tradition of recognizing all that’s great in the Garden State with its second annual Great Oak Awards. The magazine announced that 64 New Jersey companies are 2015 finalists for the Great Oaks, which honor the state’s most generous companies.

“We are delighted to recognize companies that have been nominated by New Jersey’s leading charities for exceptional generosity in terms of financial support, in-kind giving, volunteerism and professional expertise,” said Kate S. Tomlinson, Publisher and Editor in Chief of New Jersey Monthly. 

Ten New Jersey companies were honored at last September’s inaugural Great Oak Awards presentation:

Bank of America, Prudential Financial and Wakefern Food Corporations took top honors among large companies.

 AAA NJ Automobile Club, Campbell Soup Company, DCH Auto Group and OceanFirst Foundation/OceanFirst Back were the winners among medium-sized firms.

Crest Savings Bank, Lowy’s Moving Service and Roof4Roof were the small-company winners.

This year’s 64 nominees are equally impressive. “The finalist companies range from small to large, and represent diverse industries,” said Tomlinson. “They support a myriad of charities and causes, yet all have one thing in common—a passion for helping to make life better here in the Garden State.”

The winning companies will be determined in a multistep process culminating in a judging session by a panel of philanthropy experts.

The magazine will showcase this year’s Great Oak Awards finalists in the August issue. Finalists will be saluted—and top honorees announced— at a dinner on September 29, 2015, at The Palace At Somerset Park. Ticket and table information is available at 973-539-8230.
