(WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J., Sept. 18, 2024) -- In honor of its 150th anniversary, Manasquan Bank is thrilled to announce the remarkable success of its 2024 Days of Giving donation program. This year, the event shattered previous records by raising a total of $12,228.70, benefiting ten diverse and impactful charities across Monmouth, Middlesex, and Ocean counties.
As part of the 150th anniversary celebrations, Manasquan Bank's Charitable Foundation extended its support to ten deserving non-profit organizations, reflecting its deep-rooted commitment to community service. The charities that received funding are:
- Kindness Cafe on Main
- Next Steps Adult Day Program
- Sandy Hook Foundation
- Shore Saves
- Chef Lou's Army
- Sea Change Recovery Community Organization
- The Arc, Ocean County Chapter
- Akhil Autism Foundation

During the event, patrons from throughout the region visited Manasquan Bank's branch locations to participate in a unique coin exchange initiative. The Bank matched up to 15% of each transaction total, with participants retaining their entire redemption amount. In addition, participants had the option to donate all or a portion of their counted coins or make separate monetary contributions.
James S. Vaccaro, Chair, President, and CEO of Manasquan Bank expressed his enthusiasm about the event: "As we celebrate 150 years of serving our communities, we are extraordinarily proud of the success of this year's Days of Giving. The generosity and support of our clients and the community have allowed us to make a significant impact on these ten remarkable organizations. Our commitment to fostering positive change and supporting those in need remains as strong as ever."
The Days of Giving initiative, which began in 2021, continues to provide a platform for community engagement and charitable contributions. This year's event was particularly special, as it marked a major milestone in the Bank's history. It was followed by their 150th anniversary Community Day event, where members of the community gathered for a day of free food, games, crafts and entertainment provided by the Bank.
