Jumping Brook Country Club

<h1>Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity Seeks Golfers, Sponsors and Community Support for 15th Annual Golf for Homes</h1>
Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity is inviting golfers, businesses and community supporters to take part in its&nbsp;15th Annual Golf for Homes outing on&nbsp;Monday, October 5, 2026, at Jumping Brook Country Club in Neptune. Thank you to Presenting Sponsor, Manasquan Bank.
One of Monmouth Habitat’s major annual fundraisers, Golf for Homes brings together local businesses, community partners and supporters for a day on the course while raising critical funds for the organization’s affordable housing and home repair programs throughout Monmouth County.&nbsp;
Golfers and sponsors are currently being sought for the outing, and there are plenty of ways to participate even for those who don’t golf. Supporters can attend the evening dinner and awards celebration, become an event sponsor, or donate an item, experience, gift certificate or service to the event’s silent auction.
“We are looking forward to bringing our community together for another great Golf for Homes,” said Robin Ginburg, Co-Chair of Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity Golf Committee. “It’s always a fun day, but most importantly, the support we receive from our golfers, sponsors and donors directly helps us serve more families, veterans, older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout Monmouth County.”
The day begins with&nbsp;registration at 11:30 a.m. and a BBQ lunch at noon,&nbsp;&nbsp;followed by a&nbsp;1:30 p.m. shotgun start. Golfers will compete in an 18-hole scramble with contests and activities throughout the course, including a Hole-in-One competition, Longest Drive, and Closest to the Pin.
Following golf, participants will gather for an open bar, buffet dinner and awards celebration from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. The evening will also include a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, giveaways, and prizes.
<h3>Opportunities for Local Businesses</h3>
Golf for Homes provides businesses with an opportunity to support affordable housing locally while gaining visibility among golfers, community leaders and fellow Monmouth County businesses.
A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available at different levels, from prominent event sponsorships to individual tee signs. Businesses can also participate by entering a company foursome, donating to the silent auction or providing a product or service for the event.
Silent auction donations are currently being accepted, including restaurant and retail gift cards, entertainment and sporting experiences, hotel stays, golf packages, tickets, merchandise, services and other items that will help make the auction a success.
<h3>Building Homes and Stronger Communities</h3>
Funds raised through Golf for Homes support Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity’s work across all 53 municipalities in the county, including its&nbsp;Affordable Homeownership, LIFT Veterans Build Home Repairs and Aging in Place programs.
Monmouth Habitat's&nbsp;85th affordable home is close to completion. Additional affordable homes are planned in&nbsp;Wall Township, Brielle and Eatontown, creating new opportunities for local families to achieve the stability and security that affordable homeownership provides.
The nonprofit continues to expand its home repair programs. Through LIFT (Local Initiative for Troops) the organization provides home repairs for local veterans while Aging in Place programs help older adults and individuals with disabilities remain safely and independently in their homes through services including Ramps &amp; Rails, and A Brush With Kindness. The non-profit has also recently launched a Handy Andy program serving Monmouth County residents aged 60 plus.
Every golfer, sponsor, dinner guest and auction donor who participates in Golf for Homes helps make this work possible.
Golf for Homes Registration &amp; Lunch: 11:30 a.m –1:30 p.m. Shotgun Start: 1:30 p.m. Dinner &amp; Awards: 6:30–9:00 p.m.
Golfers, sponsors and dinner guests can register online through Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity. Businesses and individuals interested in donating to the silent auction or learning more about sponsorship opportunities can contact&nbsp;Special Event Coordinator Stacie Bradley at <a href="mailto:sbradley@monmouthhabitat.org">sbradley@monmouthhabitat.org</a> or 732-795-2698.
