County Commissioners congratulate Marlboro High School for winning County Consumer Bowl

HOWELL, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners would like to congratulate a team of students from Marlboro High School for winning the 2025 Monmouth County Consumer Bowl, a game-show-style competition that tests students’ knowledge of consumer-related information. The students have advanced to compete in the Central Regional Consumer Bowl on April 8.

The Monmouth County Consumer Bowl, which is sponsored by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, was held on Feb. 4 at the Monmouth County Fire Academy. Students from Freehold Township High School, Manalapan High School, Marlboro High School, Middletown North High School and Raritan High School participated.

“On behalf of the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners, I want to congratulate the Marlboro High School students for winning the 2025 Monmouth County Consumer Bowl,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “Marlboro has now won the County Consumer Bowl four years in a row and won the State championship in 2024 - an incredible accomplishment. We look forward to supporting them as they move on to the next round.”

“During the Consumer Bowl, students are tested on their understanding of the Consumer Fraud Act,” said Commissioner Erik Anderson, liaison to the Monmouth County Division of Consumer Affairs. “The questions addressed topics like home improvement contractors, gift cards, cryptocurrency, identity theft, internet issues, and amusement games. Congratulations to the Marlboro team on their fourth consecutive victory and to all the participating high schools for their hard work.”

Marlboro High School students have won the Monmouth County Consumer Bowl four years in a row. The members of this year’s winning team are Summer Adler (captain), Chase Sussman, David Tabak, Sara Kachhia-Patel and Kayla Newman. The team’s teachers/advisers are Patrick Scinto and Nicole Bendik, and Marlboro High School’s principal is David Bleakley.

The Consumer Bowl consists of three levels of competition: County, which was held on Feb. 4; Central Regional, which will be held on April 8 at the Middlesex County Fire Academy in Sayreville; and the State championship, which will be held on May 21 at the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office in Trenton.

Monmouth County Division of Consumer Affairs has five investigators who actively assist residents with consumer issues. The division’s staff has the resources and the authority to investigate complaints about billing, gift cards, home repair, car sales and repairs, scams and much more. The division annually investigates more than 600 complaints and attempts to mediate solutions.
