Who We Are
Our History and Who We Are
In 1972, a group of local Minneapolis businessmen and labor leaders organized the first Minnesota 100 Club based out of Northeast Minneapolis. This group of people took the lead from the other 100 Clubs that had been formed around the country. The sole purpose at the time was to provide instant relief and aid to family members of First Responders who were killed in the line of duty. Now the Club is over 50 years old. We have expanded our mission to support the critically injured, our supporters have spread throughout the State of Minnesota, and our base of support is currently at an all-time high.
Increased Danger to our First Responders
The dangers of First Responders’ duties are increasing each year, and with this increase, the need for an organization such as the Minnesota 100 Club also grows. This requires additional community support for this worthy cause, so we can continue to provide financial relief to family members of First Responders who are killed or seriously injured in the line of duty.
Who We Help
The purpose of the Minnesota 100 Club is to provide financial assistance to the family members of First Responders who are seriously injured or killed while defending our safety. This includes City, County, State and Federal First Responders who are seriously injured or lose their lives while working within the borders of Minnesota.
How We Help
How We Help and How You Can Help Too!
Our goal is to provide a bridge of financial assistance at a moment’s notice once a tragedy has happened. As a 501(c) (3), we respond quickly with financial support to immediate families of our First Responders who are either tragically injured or killed in the line of duty. The funds we provide help lessen the effects of the financial impact of a tragedy.
Donations to the Minnesota 100 Club come from private individuals or organizations. Yearly sponsorships start at a $100 donation. During the Club’s more than 50 years of existence, we have paid in benefits to hundreds of families of First Responders who have died or been seriously injured while protecting our safety.
Other ways to help include participating in our special events by attending, sponsoring, or donating items for the auctions. An easy way to participate in supporting First Responders is by buying the specialty license plate.
We count on our supporters to help us give back to those who serve us.
In recent years, The Club has increased its benefit allotment to up to $50,000, and monetary gifts are also given during the holiday time to families of the fallen or injured with dependent children.
