The inaugural Greater Long Branch Beach Classic officially made its debut on the Long Branch beachfront, bringing together teams, volunteers, supporters, and community partners for a day that celebrated connection, competition, and community spirit. Designed to showcase everything that makes Long Branch and the Jersey Shore special, the event kicked off Memorial Day Weekend with a meaningful mission of honoring the brave military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The Chamber was proud to partner with the AUSA Monmouth Chapter, whose work supporting veterans, military families, and service dog programs continues to make a lasting impact throughout our community. Ten founding teams helped make history on the sand, competing with incredible energy, positivity, and sportsmanship despite challenging weather conditions throughout the day. Congratulations to Team CHAMA for becoming the inaugural Greater Long Branch Beach Classic Champions and officially earning their place in Beach Classic history. A special thank you goes out to every player, captain, volunteer, supporter, and committee member whose dedication helped bring this vision to life and create an unforgettable atmosphere on the beachfront. The Chamber also proudly recognizes the tremendous efforts of Committee Chair Carlos A. Reynolds, Aaron Levine, Elsa Pereira, Nancy Zuckerman, Nick Listorti, and The Link News for their continued support and leadership throughout the event. The Greater Long Branch Beach Classic was built through collaboration, creativity, and community pride, and this is only the beginning of a tradition we look forward to growing for years to come.
