About Us

The 100 Club of Memphis is an organization that supports the families of the first responders in Memphis and Shelby County.

Chartered in 1956, Memphis leaders committed to personally provide financial assistance to the families of the courageous men and women who dedicate, and sometimes give, their lives to protect us.

The original membership-based group was small, and each member paid $100 in yearly dues in order to build the necessary funds to provide for the immediate financial needs of the families of those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Sixty years later, the 100 Club of Memphis boasts a strong legacy of support to law enforcement officers and firefighters due to the generosity of people like you.
