The Barnegat Jr. Bengals are creating a brick pathway around the new concession stand and surrounding area at the Lower Shore Field. The path will include bricks engraved with the names of those who support the Barnegat Jr. Bengals of Barnegat, NJ. This is a dedication to our many football players and cheerleaders throughout the years. We invite you- friends, family members, businesses or organizations- to purchase a commemorative brick to honor a child, past player or present, recognize your family, business or organization, remember a loved one or a special day, and/or show support for the Barnegat Jr. Bengals of Barnegat, NJ. Your purchase will become a permanent part of this wonderful organization and it is tax deductible.

Let’s bring back the Pride to Barnegat and create a great place our kids can proudly call home!  Go Jr Bengals!
