The 100 Club

From its beginnings as a grassroots effort to its current role as a comprehensive support organization, the 100 Club has remained unwavering in its mission: to stand beside the families and members of public safety.

Origin and Legacy
Founded in Detroit in 1952 following a tragic incident, the 100 Club began as a compassionate response to assist the families of fallen officers. What started as a local effort soon grew into a national movement, establishing a legacy of honor, service, and community support.

Mission Expansion
Over the decades, the 100 Club has evolved to meet the changing needs of the public safety community. While immediate financial aid for families of the fallen remains a cornerstone, the mission has broadened to include educational opportunities, wellness programs, and ongoing support for public safety personnel and their families. Today, the organization’s impact extends well beyond financial relief, addressing the diverse challenges faced by those who serve and protect.

Current Services and Structure
The 100 Club provides a range of services, including safety stipends, scholarships, and financial hardship assistance. Operating as a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization, it is guided by an elected Board of Directors dedicated to transparency, accountability, and community engagement. Through this structure, the 100 Club ensures that resources are directed where they are needed most—supporting those who sacrifice daily for the safety of others.
