Garden State C.O.P.S. would like to thank everyone who participated in the third annual Survivor Classic Golf Tournament. Without you we could not have have had such a great event!
A special thanks to all of our sponsors. Without them our tournament would not be a sucess.
We would also like to thank all of the departments, locals and all of the sponsors who purchased a "Remembrance Walk" flag. These flags will be displayed at every tournament for the coming years. Our goal is to line the golf couse with these flags to honor all of the officers killed in the line of duty in New Jersey and surrounding states.
