As a result, Grunberg runs a charitable organization called "Hollywood Helping Hands," which auctions off pieces of artwork that are finger-painted by celebrities to benefit the Pediatric Epilepsy Project at UCLA.

  • While appearing on the cable station G4, Greg claimed to be the only man in Hollywood with four G's in his name.
  • Greg is the drummer and founder of "Band from TV", a charity cover band that often plays for the Pediatric Epilepsy Project. They played at the Season One Heroes Wrap Party, and had special guests Tim Kring on guitar, Noah Gray-Cabey on keyboard, Jack Coleman on vocals for a couple of songs, and Hayden Panettiere on vocals for two more songs. On April 19, 2009, Band from TV performed at the Heroes for Autism fundraiser.
