BGH was first thought up in 2004 and came into reality in the summer of 2006. Founded by a small group of locals from around the Brick and Toms River areas, BGH quickly began to emerge as a voice for disenfranchised locals up and down the coast. The movement, founded under general initiatives meant to educate and unite other persons of the area to the other side of tourism, grew and changed over the years along with those working within the organization. Today, BGH boasts supporters in nearly every town and city of the Jersey Shore, and continues to grow almost exclusively through the support of these bold individuals. BGH continues to work towards the total awareness of the people regarding the effects of tourism and it's associated industries in the place we call home, and we continue to encourage other locals to take up this flag and do whatever they can to preserve the ideals they too hold. 2004   Summer - The very first sticker reading "Benny Go Home" is ordered for personal use by a future BGH founder. 2005   Spring - The original BGH members begin discussing the idea of forming the BGH organization.   Summer - The idea to print t-shirts and stickers to spread the word of the new organization is agreed upon.   Fall - The original four designs are confirmed and the crew pools their money to get the materials needed. 2006   Winter - Bennygohome.com is purchased.   Spring - The website officially goes online.   Summer - The start of summer marks the first real successes for BGH including media recognition as an emerging organization.   Fall - Many locals are asking if their is a store where they can meet to show support and also purchase BGH designs. 2007   Winter - During the winter the designs are expanded upon rapidly as a rush of a new ideas come in.   Spring = BGH speaks out against the demolition of neighborhoods in Long Branch and against eminent domain abuse in the Jersey Shore area.   Summer - More than 15,000 BGH support stickers have been distributed to the population of the Jersey Shore. 2008   Winter - After several rejections from big name stores in the area, BGH is invited to Asbury Park to set up a stand near Ocean Avenue, to much fanfare.   Winter - BGH attends the city council meeting in Point Pleasant Beach to speak out against the attempt as razing Risdens Bathhouses to build luxury rentals.
