The Hundred Club of Mass

Founded in 1959 by media mogul Norman Knight, The Hundred Club of Massachusetts is the largest organization of its kind in the world — offering monetary and emotional support to the families of fallen firefighters and police officers. Any time a man or woman dies in the line of duty in the state of Massachusetts, The Hundred Club is there to honor them and help their family. Whether it be in the form of flowers on a birthday or anniversary or a scholarship to college — the services offered by The Hundred Club help to ease the pain and burden of an unfathomable loss. As the child of a firefighter, I am acutely aware of the risk involved in working for the police or fire service and have seen the way the loss of a parent can impact a family. I am both extremely glad that organizations like this exist and eternally grateful that I have never had to access their resources myself.
