What’s Your Why

2025

At the 100 Club of Illinois, everything we do is rooted in a deep respect for the courage, compassion, and resilience of our state’s first responders and their families. Whether you’re racing toward danger, helping others heal, advocating for mental wellness, or giving back in honor of a hero — your “why” matters.

We want to hear the stories that fuel your passion.
Why do you serve?
Why do you support first responders?
Why do you give to the 100 Club?

Your story is part of our mission — and together, they form the heartbeat of this community.

To share your “why,” or to learn more, please reach out to Julia at jrottman@100clubil.org.
