What is the difference between joining The 100 Club and donating to the Survivor’s Fund?
- Donations made for membership in The 100 Club, special contributions, and other events are used to fulfill our mission of helping the dependents of firefighters and peace officers, providing law enforcement agencies with life-protecting equipment, and providing law enforcement officers with education opportunities. Membership is the only thing that will get you a 100 Club decal.
- 100% of your tax-deductible donation to the Survivor’s Fund goes to help the dependents of peace officers and firefighters. When someone is killed in the line of duty, The 100 Club appeals to its members and to the public for donations and disburses funds to the dependents of the fallen hero.
