Being a law enforcement officer or fire fighter is not just a job. It is a calling a noble choice, a courageous choice. Daily, these public servants risk their lives to protect us and make our community a better place to live. Sometimes, they pay the ultimate price.

The Hundred Club is a low-profile, volunteer philanthropic organization dedicated to assisting the spouses and dependents of law enforcement officers and fire fighters killed in the line of duty. The Hundred Club of Pueblo provides an opportunity to give something back to the families of those who give their all to protect our safety. When a peace officer or firefighter in the Pueblo area loses his or her life in the line of duty, The Hundred Club of Pueblo immediately provides financial assistance to the surviving spouse and dependents to help keep future hopes and dreams alive. Hundred Club members realize that money can never make up for the loss of a loved one, but it can be helpful in covering immediate expenses and preparing for the future. Additionally, members of the Hundred Club are experts in various fields and are available to advise and counsel families in a wide range of areas without cost or obligation.

Purpose of the Organization

The Hundred Club does not solicit nor seek publicity in any form, nor do they solicit funds for contributions. The clear, undiluted purpose of the organization is to provide a measure of comfort to those who daily risk their lives in the service of others.

Pueblo has lost many public safety heroes throughout our community's history. However, there was no Hundred Club to render aid to their families prior to May 17, 1995, when the Hundred Club of Pueblo was initiated and incorporated by Jerome "Jerry" Lindberg.

• Ruben Archuleta
• Dan Corsentino
• Maggie Divelbiss
• Geoffrey Gordon
• Levert Hoag
• Bob Johnston
• Greg Miller
• David Napier
• Mike Stillman
• Ken West

Today the Board of Directors of the Hundred Club of Pueblo includes the following individuals:

• Dave Napier (President)
