surviving dependents, for special equipment, to educate officers,
and to award outstanding officers and firefighters. To date,
The 100 Club has provided families with gifts in excess of $12,000,000.
The first life-protecting equipment - bullet-proof vests - was
given to law enforcement in 1977. Since then, The 100 Club has
provided a variety of special equipment to various local law
enforcement agencies.
Approximately five hundred officers have benefited from scholarship and
other educational opportunities provided through The 100 Club.
