What is The Hundred Club?
The Hundred Club of Connecticut is a charitable,
non-profit, tax exempt organization of more than 2000 of our leading
citizens from all parts of the state and from all walks of life who
are committed to the task of easing the financial burdens of the
surviving spouse and children of all police officers, correction
officers, and firefighters, volunteer and full-time, who have given
up their lives in the performance of their duties.
Since the founding of the Club in 1967, 227 of our brave public
servants have made the supreme sacrifice.
After an initial grant of $10,000 to the spouse, a close and
frequent follow-up is conducted relative to the family's situation
to alleviate and act on special problems which might have developed.
The Club, through its Special Assistance and Scholarship Committees,
provides the necessary help in connection with crushing expenses
which often threaten to overwhelm the families, and arranges for any
needed medical, dental, or other professional services.
The Hundred Club is so unique that it sometimes is unbelievable in
its purpose, and is even more unusual as one looks at its financial
giving. In the thirty-one years of its existence, over $8,000,000
has been given to family members covering a multitude of financial
necessities. If there is one area of singular pride, it is the
college and vocational school funding. Over 145 of the surviving
children and spouses have taken advantage of the Scholarship
Program. It has become the pride of The Hundred Club.
Our membership has steadily grown to its present level and our
programs are ever expanding, as each year we strive to extend
greater support in our efforts to ease the financial burdens which
are thrust upon each family when tragedy strikes. Members of the
Hundred Club are prideful of their association with this noble
charity and as such display with that same sense of pride and
camaraderie the symbols of the club, i.e., shield, lapel pin.
The Hundred Club membership is saying to all citizens of
Connecticut, "We care for our public servants. We recognize the
supreme sacrifice and we are morally bound to care for those who
care for us." We are, indeed, - The Club with a heart.
