Holiday Heroes of New Jersey: Celebrate with $3,000 prize

This holiday season, it’s time to honor the unsung heroes who make a difference in our communities. Those who selflessly give their time, energy, and love to others without expecting anything in return.

Whether it's a teacher, a neighbor, a caregiver, or a friend, New Jersey 101.5 invites you to celebrate these everyday champions.

Every day, Bill Spadea will read submissions of local heroes at 7:10 a.m. and 9:10 a.m., recognizing their extraordinary actions and giving them a moment to shine on air.

Each submission read on air will win a $100 for both the person who nominates someone and the persons recognized. All submissions will automatically be entered into the grand prize drawing for a $3,000 Earth Treasures Jewelers Gift Card!
