The 100 Club of Central Texas is the leader in providing financial support to the families of first responders who have been killed or critically injured in the line of duty.

HISTORY The Club was founded in 1983 by two Austin physicians: Dr. James Moritz and Dr. Ed Stivers. Initially, the organization served the immediate Austin area and provided assistance to police officers. It was called The 100 Club of Austin. In 2005, The Club expanded service to all first responders, including county sheriff personnel, emergen- cy medical technicians and firefighters. The Club’s Board voted to expand again in March of 2015 to in- clude first responders in Bell County.

In January of 2018, The Club increased the amount of financial support immediately available to our first responders to $25,000 for a line of duty death and $5,000 for a line of duty critical injury.
