100 Club of Memphis

The 100 Club of Memphis was chartered in 1956 to be a support organization for all the Police and Fire Departments in Memphis and Shelby County. They were just a small group back then. Memphis leaders…who made the decision to personally help the courageous men and woman who dedicate, and sometimes, give their lives to help protect us. In the beginning, each member paid yearly dues of $100 to build the necessary funds to provide for the immediate financial needs of the families. Thus… the 100 Club of Memphis was born.
