100 Club of Chicago

The Schiller Park Fire Association has been doing significant charity work since 2011, and this year they have chosen to support the 100 Club of Chicago. These campaigns for various charities take a lot of dedication to ensure success. What is your drive to continue to raise money for charities every other year?

 

“Just to see the overwhelming support that we get from our community, friends, and families. Seeing people’s faces when we present them with a check for how much money we raise just by selling T-Shirts and hats. I mean there is an incredible amount of time dedicated to this. This is a year in the works and it doesn’t happen overnight. There’s a lot of planning that goes into making this happen and making it as successful as it is. We don’t promote big. Just Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. Otherwise it’s just word of mouth or being out in the community and other events…. So far we’ve donated over $40,000 to charities and this year, we are on track to beat our previous numbers. It’s just nice to know that our money does go on to make a difference.”

Support the 100 Club through the SPFA initiative by purchasing a hat or t-shirt (pictured below) HERE. You can also register for the SPFA Top Golf Event on July 21st, HERE.

Education Assistance is available to the spouses and children of fallen first responders for higher education, including trade and vocational schools, colleges and universities. Grants and scholarships are both undergraduate and graduate levels.
