This award reaffirms our dedication to partnering with local nonprofits, schools, and civic groups to uplift and strengthen our communities."

• Financial education outreach — the bank hosted a series of free workshops and seminars in local schools, community centers, and online, with critical information on budgeting, credit, fraud prevention, and homeownership.

"As our banking industry continues to evolve, it is essential that institutions remain grounded in service," said. Cathy Franzoni, SEVP & COO. "This award reflects the spirit and hard work of every Manasquan Bank employee who devotes time, talent and care to the communities they live in. We are deeply grateful to NJBankers for this honor."
