Sandy Hook Beach Sweep
Since 1985, over 115,800 volunteers have participated and removed over 5.9 million pieces of debris from New Jersey's beaches and waterways.
With our mission to connect, entertain and inspire Monmouth County, FC Monmouth aims to be more than just a club playing soccer once in a while. We've partnered with Clean Ocean Action (a leading national and regional voice working to protect waterways using science, law, research, education, and citizen action) to take care of our shore ecosystem. On Saturday April 21, 2018 at 9am they hold their 33rd annual Annual Beach Sweep and FC Monmouth is volunteering to help clean the beach at Sandy Hook. Want to join us? Please submit your information below and we'll send you some final information on where we meet up a few days before.
