Club Remembers “Heroes” Families During Holidays
In carrying out The
Hundred Club’s long-time remembrance programs
the organization distributed checks totaling
$102,000 at Christmas. One hundred and
thirty-two spouses and 18 children were the
beneficiaries.
Earlier, turkeys and Thanksgiving baskets were
given to 132 families. The cost to the club was
$12,000. A brief review of the club’s activities
in 2001 shows that 25 college students received
$186,232 in scholarship money. The club has
provided more than $3.5 million to students
since this program was launched in 1974 with
scholarships worth $1,000 and $1,500. Currently
the club is providing up to $25,000 per year per
student for educational-related expenses.
At present 35 students are using computers
supplied by the club. A computer with access to
the Internet is available to students age seven
and older. This benefit for families of “Fallen
Heroes” was established in 2000.
The Hundred Club was founded in 1967 by Anthony
Ustjanauskas following the tragic death of
Hartford Police Officer Harvey R. Young. His
widow was given a check for $1,000. With the
growth of the club the death benefit was
increased several times. At present the
contribution is $10,000.
