Hello Supporters,

 

Hello Supporters,

At this time of year there will be families, including the family of Beaumont’s own James Lee, whose celebrations will unfortunately be very different. Parents, spouses, children, and other relatives of fallen firefighters and peace officers will be grieving the loss of their loved ones. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

I hope you agree that we owe a special debt to those who lose, or have lost, their lives in service to our community. Please know as I do, that your loyal support helps provide for some of the immediate needs of these families.

Today, in the spirit of the year that is about to end and the new year that will begin, I ask that along with your 100 Club membership if it would be possible to give even more to support our firefighters and peace officers in Jefferson, Hardin, and Orange counties.

I pray that your entire family will continue throughout the year to be healthy, safe, and know that we’ll all continue to be secure because of the tremendous service that is provided to each of us through our men and women who serve as first responders. Thank you in advance for your support of the 100 Club of Southeast Texas.

Joe Penland, Sr.
President, The 100 Club of SE Texas

Help Us Support the Families of Fallen Heroes

The 100 Club of SETX Survivor's Fund

When a law enforcement officer or firefighter is killed in the line of duty, our community loses a public servant – but their family loses a parent, a partner, and a provider.

The 100 Club is the only charitable organization established to support the families of officers and firefighters killed while protecting us. We ensure that their family is not forgotten!

When tragedy strikes, the effects are devastating, and all too often it strikes in the form of a death or disabling injury of a law enforcement officer or firefighter. The 100 Club of Southeast Texas is here to provide immediate response to the needs of the family of a fallen officer or firefighter.

Due to the recent new and exciting realization of the Club’s Survivor Benefit Fund, the 100 Club of Southeast Texas representing Hardin, Jefferson and Orange counties proudly accepted the unprecedented $100,000.00 check donation from the Wilton P. & Effie Mae Hebert Foundation representatives.
