Association of the US Army (AUSA) Monmouth Chapter Golf Outing Supporting Our Service Dog Program


The Association of the US Army (AUSA) Monmouth Chapter is a 100% volunteer, 501c3 not-for-profit organization serving the greater Monmouth County Region within New Jersey. We support soldiers, veterans of all services, and family members through our unique military-oriented support and recognition programs. We educate and inform the community regarding the US Army, including mission, organizational structure, current operations, priorities, and challenges. We support local youth through scholarship programs, volunteer service opportunities, and by striving to instill values of citizenship and service to the nation. Our chapter is named in honor of the former Fort Monmouth Army Installation and the Revolutionary War Battle of Monmouth. We have been in continuous operation since our founding in 1967. This is our annual charity golf outing that supports our service dog program. We have a terrific service dog program. We purchase puppies, train them as service dogs, pair them with a local veteran or a family member of a veteran with special needs, train them together as a team, and then hand off the service dog to the veteran, all free of charge to the veteran. We have completed 7 service dog/veteran pairings over the past several years and have 2 pairings in progress as of March 2025. This is an expensive program—each pairing costs approximately $20,000. The golf outing will take place at the Jumping Brook Country Club in Neptune NJ on Monday, May 12th 2025. Registration and Breakfast is from 6:00 AM till 7:30 AM with a shotgun start at 7:30 AM. There will be a BBQ lunch immediately following golf. Price is $185 per golfer which includes continental breakfast, BBQ lunch, awards reception, and prizes.
