History of Caring

The 200 Club movement began over 50 years ago when a young officer in Detroit, Michigan was fatally shot in the line of duty. One man, moved by this tragic event, wrote to 200 of his friends, asking them to donate to a fund for the officer’s wife and child. He received a 100% response and used the donated funds to help the widow meet most of her and her child’s immediate and future financial needs.

The 200 Club of Guilford County started its organization in 2008. Its mission is to take care of the families of our sworn law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS personnel how have been killed in the line of duty. In the area that we serve, there are approximately 2,255 law enforcement, fire, emergency medical personnel that we are committed to assisting should the need arise.
