For the second year, Coca-Cola has designated the Jersey Shore Partnership as the recipient of a fund supported through the sale of Coca-Cola classic 8-ounce glass bottles featuring Barnegat Light.

Last year the famed lighthouse was featured only in the New York region and raised $20,000 for the partnership, which fights for beach restoration and protection along the Jersey Shore. This year, the program has been expanded to include the Philadelphia region. The collectible bottles will be sold in New Jersey until September or until supplies are exhausted. The lighthouse is presently in the process of a painting preservation project.
