Cranford Elks

Cranford Elks Elks are providing charitable services that help build stronger communities. We are...
A fraternal order with nearly a million members and a 141-year history.

A network of more than 2000 lodges in communities all over the country. A generous charitable foundation that each year gives millions in scholarships, an inspiration to youth, a friend to veterans and more. Origin
The Elks organization was founded in New York City on February 16, 1868 under the name "Jolly Corks" by 15 actors, entertainers and others associated with the theater. In ensuing years,

membership expanded to other professions. Purposes
This Fraternal Order was founded "To promote and practice the four cardinal virtues of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its members; to quicken the spirit of American Patriotism and cultivate good fellowship." Membership
The Order is a non-political, non-sectarian and strictly American fraternity. Proposal for membership in the Order is only by invitation of a member in good standing. To be accepted as a member, one must be an American citizen, believe in God, be of good moral character and be at least 21 years old. What We Do
The Order spends more than $80,000,000 every year for benevolent, educational and patriotic community-minded programs in such fields as benefitting physically handicapped children, sponsoring Elks National Foundation scholarships, scouting, athletic teams, veterans' works, a national "Hoop Shoot" free-throw contest involving more than 3 million children, physical and occupational therapy programs and patriotic programs. The youth of our country have always been important to the Order. It is for this reason the Elks Drug Awareness Education Program was launched to warn primary grade students and their parents of the dangers in drug use. Additionally, every lodge observes June 14th as Flag Day, a tradition which the Elks began in 1907 and was later adopted by the Congress as an official observance.

Rest in Peace Tracy Madonia 🙏🏼💓🪽
She was truly one of a kind and a devoted member of our lodge whose kindness, laughter, and beautiful spirit touched so many lives. She gave so much of herself to others and did it all with love, strength, and that unforgettable sparkle that made Tracy so special. Her loss leaves a hole in all of our hearts, and she will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.

Tracy Madonia (née Mellaci), formerly of Kenilworth, passed away peacefully at home on May 16th, 2026 wrapped in love and surrounded by her devoted family.
