Minnesota 100 Club

 The Minnesota 100 Club is Protecting the Protectors!

The Minnesota 100 Club has a very focused mission:  We raise funds to support the families of First Responders that have been severely injured or have lost their lives in the line of duty.    

In 2022, we honored eight of Minnesota' bravest citizens by making a gift to them or their families: 

Officer Mark Distel, St. Paul Police Department

Officer Ryan Duxbury, Roseville Police Department 

Firefighter Ryan Erickson, Blomkest Fire Department 

Captain Brian Lange, Upsala Fire Department

Captain Andy Loso, St. Joseph Fire Department 

Assistant Chief James “Jimmy” Scanlon, Hopkins Fire Department

Officer Ron Smith, New York Mills Police Department

Deputy Jayme Williams, Itasca County Sheriff’s Department 

Minnesota's First Responders risk their lives every day.  They study, train and respond, even placing themselves in harm’s way to protect our safety.  They answer our calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  These past few years have been especially challenging for our law enforcement officers, firefighters, correctional officers, and EMS.  They have been working continuously to safeguard and protect our families, neighbors, and communities --often at great risk to their own health and well-being. 

This year's political climate and social challenges have sent shockwaves through every Agency and to the heart of every First Responder across the country, including here in Minnesota.   The Minnesota 100 Club is here to support all of our First Responders, and they need to hear of our strong support and gratitude for them as they continue to protect our lives, safety and property. 

The Minnesota 100 Club was formed in 1972.  Since then we have helped nearly 500 families of fallen or disabled First Responders.  The dangers that firefighters, law enforcement, EMS professionals and correctional officers face is greater than ever.  Please support our volunteer  non-profit.
