First Responders Deserve Our Gratitude And Support
Our First Responder programs support active-duty first responders and their departments in obtaining safety and wellness training, funds, and resources for preventative wellness and emergency response. Programs are also designed to positively recognize our first responder community and individuals for their hard work and success.
Programs
The 100 Club of Illinois is proud of our first responders and dedicated to offering the following resources:
Department Days
Valor Awards
The 100 Club Valor Awards are presented annually to police officers, firefighters, and paramedics who, by their actions, performed above and beyond the call of duty and in the highest traditions of their respective departments. Submissions for recipients are collected by January of each year. To nominate a first responder for the Valor Awards, please complete this form.
Wellness Training
Join our Wellness First training series for first responders. Ongoing news releases of training programs will feature topics across the wellness spectrum: mental health, fitness, nutrition, sleep, peer support, resiliency, and more. Both virtual and in-person training sessions are available. Explore and register for our Wellness First training opportunities. If you are looking for other training topics or individual training resources for your department, please reach out to us to further discuss these interests.
Emergency On-Call Response
FRONTLINE FUNDING
Our goal is to provide first responders with the health and wellness opportunities they need to be most effective on the job. We recognize that financial constraints may impact an individual’s or department’s ability to do this as well as they otherwise could. Grant funds are available to individual first responders and departments. See our First Responder Frontline Funding details and applications.
