Make A Donation to the 100 Club of Chicago

Without the brave men and women who daily risk their lives for our sake, living as we know it would be very difficult. 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 will present a check for $50,000 to the surviving spouse. It is normal at that time for her or him to be wondering how the bills will be paid and who will be there for the family once all of the immediate attention has ceased. This is the beginning of the realization that they have gained a whole new family: the 100 Club and all of its members.

Our assistance doesn’t stop there. An educational assistance program is available to all spouses and children for higher education which includes trade or vocational school, college, university and graduate school. We are pleased to report that we have distributed over $3M that has assisted over 217 children and spouses achieve their dreams of a higher education.

How can you help?

It begins with a simple wish to help those who place their lives on the line to protect our families and friends in our communities. Helping is easy – easy as joining the 100 Club or making a donation in any amount.

Please help us to help the families of those that serve and protect us.

The 100 Club would like to thank the following people and organizations for their special contributions. Through such generosity we are able to continue to support the families of those that have given their lives protecting us.
