Robin McAlister, Jr., was a talented musician and avid long-boarder. He was a resident of Ocean County for most of his life and he embraced a simple surfer lifestyle. At the age of 27, he was diagnosed with advanced cancer of the colon and liver. He passed on shortly thereafter when treatments and surgery did not improve his condition. He leaves behind his parents Robin Sr. and Monica and two sisters Heather and Erin. Together with the family, we are privileged to offer this scholarship in his name so that Robin's spirit and love of the ocean can touch future generations.
