Berkeley Hotel supports Asbury Park fishing club fundraiser with key contributions

Support for local initiatives took center stage at the Asbury Park City Council meeting on March 12, 2025, as representatives from the nation's oldest saltwater fishing club expressed gratitude for the city's backing. The club highlighted the vital role of local businesses, particularly the Berkeley Hotel, in their fundraising efforts.

Stewart, a key figure at the Berkeley, along with his team members Corey Lowe and Steve Heilier, were commended for their contributions, which are essential to the club's success. The fishing club emphasized its mission to promote Asbury Park as a premier recreational fishing destination, showcasing the city's unique offerings.

In a show of community spirit, the club also noted its commitment to giving back, revealing that proceeds from their fishing show are donated to various local nonprofits. Last December, they supported the Community Farmers and the Esriere Park Holiday Toy Drive, demonstrating their dedication to enhancing the local community.

This meeting underscored the importance of collaboration between local organizations and businesses, reinforcing Asbury Park's reputation as a hub for recreational activities and community support.
