The 100 Club of Illinois is proud to announce the signing of HB 4842, strengthening confidentiality protections for Illinois first responders who seek support through peer support and Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) services.

Seeking support is not a sign of weakness, it is a normal human response to extraordinary stress. We know that confidentiality is critical in helping first responders feel safe reaching out when they need support.

HB 4842 reinforces those protections and sends an important message to the first responder community: It is okay to ask for help.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make this legislation possible, including State Representative Mike Kelly and State Senator John Curran.
The 100 Club of Illinois remains committed to standing behind those who stand on the front lines and ensuring they have access to the support and resources they need.

On October 11, the 100 Club's Chicago Marathon Team will be dedicating their miles to our mission of supporting Illinois first responders and their families.

Meet Jayme!

For Jayme, running for the 100 Club is deeply personal. After experiencing firsthand the support the 100 Club provides to first responders and their departments, Jayme is running to give back to an organization that has made a meaningful difference in her life.

"I cannot thank them enough for helping support me financially with mental health services not covered by my insurance. Without them, I would not have been able to receive the help I needed. They also helped my department with a grant to allow us to get ultrasound cancer testing done to all of our members."

This will be Jayme's first marathon, trading her usual weightlifting routine for 26.2 miles through Chicago. As she takes on this new challenge, she’s looking forward to seeing new parts of Chicago, but especially to the finish line.

"I’m most looking forward to crossing the finish line and hugging my husband and son!"

60 Years, 60 Stories.

Today, the 100 Club of Illinois honors Deputy Jake Keltner of the McHenry County Sheriff's Office.

On March 7, 2019, Deputy Keltner was serving an arrest warrant as part of a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force when he was critically wounded by the suspect and later succumbed to his injuries. He was survived by his wife, two children, and many family members.

Jake’s brother, Luke, a valued member of the 100 Club community, is carrying on Jake’s legacy by hosting a Chicago Cubs Watch Party in partnership with the 100 Club of Illinois on Saturday, August 29, at DC Cobbs in McHenry, Illinois.
