Celebrating Community Spirit: Manasquan Bank's Annual Tradition

On September 13, 2025, Manasquan Bank proudly hosted its 12th Annual Community Day at Squan Plaza in downtown Manasquan, New Jersey. This beloved hometown tradition attracted hundreds of families, clients, and neighbors, all gathered to partake in an afternoon filled with fun and festivities. The day was made even more special with a Jaws-themed celebration that included live entertainment from Thunder 106.3, delicious free food and refreshments, games for children, crafts, rides, and exciting giveaways.

A Commitment to Community

Manasquan Bank’s Community Day is entirely funded by the bank itself, showcasing not only its dedication to its clients but also to the broader community it has been serving for more than a century and a half. The success of the event is largely attributed to the hard work and commitment of the bank’s employees, who plan, organize, and manage the festivities every year. This commitment reflects the values of Manasquan Bank as a financial institution that goes beyond mere banking – it strives to be a true partner in the community.

During the week leading up to Community Day, the bank also organized its annual Days of Giving program from September 8 to 12. This initiative invited clients to bring in their spare change to any branch of Manasquan Bank. As an added incentive, the bank donated an additional 15% of the total transaction amounts to local charitable organizations. This generous effort resulted in an impressive $10,000 that was distributed equally among five nonprofits, each receiving $2,000 to support their vital work across Monmouth, Middlesex, and Ocean counties.

Community Bank Values

Cathy Franzoni, SEVP and Chief Operating Officer of Manasquan Bank, expressed her excitement about the day, stating, "Community Day and Days of Giving are shining examples of what it means to be a true community bank. To see hundreds of families laughing, sharing, and celebrating together is a reminder of why we do what we do. Our team is honored to create these moments and proud to support local organizations that make such a difference in the lives of our neighbors."

The event’s atmosphere was filled with joy, laughter, and community connection, reflecting the pride that Manasquan Bank takes in its operations and community involvement. Besides providing banking services, the bank has placed significant emphasis on engaging in initiatives that uplift the local population.

As the bank looks to the future, it is committed to maintaining its traditions and continuing its support for the communities it serves. The value placed on working alongside community organizations not only paves the way for a more robust local economy but also strengthens the bonds among residents.
