100 Club – Providing Assistance at a Moments Notice

Without the brave men and women who daily risk their lives for our sake, living as we know it would be very different. That is why when tragedy strikes in Cook County, the 100 Club of Chicago (a 501 (c) (3) organization) immediately responds with financial support to lessen the devastating effects. We realize money can never replace the loss of a loved one, but funds can be extremely helpful in easing the financial burden associated with these tragic events.

Usually within the first twenty-four hours following the loss of a life in the line of duty, the 100 Club presents a check in the sum of $50,000.00. This will allow the widow or widower to meet their obligations promptly and comfortably and will be a bridge which will cover things until the federal or State funds start coming in (which can take several months), the pension monies start to arrive and the funeral remuneration payments and other benefits become a reality. This also will allow time within which the surviving spouse can (hopefully with good financial advice) review the debt situation, pay off those high credit cards and make a sensible plan for the future.

An educational assistance program is available to all spouses and children and is in addition to the payment at the time of the fatality. Our educational program is for higher education which includes trade or vocational school, college, university and graduate school.
