This Week on Your New Jersey we’re celebrating the power of sports to inspire, uplift, and create real change in our communities. Host Lisa Marie Falbo is joined by Chris Carrino, the longtime radio voice of the Brooklyn Nets and Monmouth County resident. For more than 20 years, Chris has brought the excitement of NBA basketball to fans nationwide—while also leading the Chris CarrinoFoundation for FSHD, raising awareness and funding research for the rare form of muscular dystrophy he lives with. Then, we head to Fanatics Fest, where Make-A-Wish New Jersey helped turn dreams into reality through unforgettable moments with sports superstars and passionate fans. And finally, we spotlight HOPE Week with the New York Yankees, who honored The Valerie Fund—a New Jersey-based nonprofit supporting children with cancer and blood disorders—bringing joy, support, and plenty of surprises to local families.
