Elizabeth Local 4 drives for a cause Elizabeth Local 4 continued its tradition of giving back on Oct. 3 with the Local’s popular golf classic. Local 4 members and sponsors from law enforcement supporters worked together to help the 14th annual Elizabeth Local 4 Golf Classic raise money for the Local’s Civic Association. The sold-out golf tournament held at the Shackamaxon Country Club in Scotch Plains has benefited many noble causes over the years, including youth groups and athletic programs, Special Olympics of New Jersey, Team Kevin Strive, Team Brandon and Children’s Specialized Hospital. Proceeds have also been dedicated to families in need during the holidays. This year, the Elizabeth Local 4 Golf Classic raised $25,000 for the cause.
