A Message from the President
On February 18, 2024, our family’s life changed dramatically. As the parents of a Burnsville police officer and an Eagan firefighter, my wife Molly and I (and our entire family) were deeply affected by the tragedy in Burnsville and the loss of three of our First Responders.
This horrible event prompted me to get involved, and I was thrilled to connect with the Minnesota 100 Club and join the board of directors. I am proud to be a part of a board filled with dedicated people who passionately support our First Responders, and I am honored to serve as the Club’s President in 2026.
Our First Responders are relentless in protecting and serving our communities, and the Minnesota 100 Club is relentless in supporting them.
For over 50 years, the Minnesota 100 Club has provided immediate financial assistance to the families of fallen and seriously injured Minnesota First Responders. We are there to support them in their time of greatest need.
In 2026, we are embarking on an ambitious strategic planning process to expand our mission so we can do more for the First Responder community. As always, we will remain committed to “be there” when our First Responders are killed or seriously injured, yet we are working to do more. Much more.
The Minnesota 100 Club specialty license plates provide us with solid, sustainable funding while raising awareness of our Club through thousands of “traveling billboards.” If you don’t have our plates, please get them and tell your friends about them! I like to think that every time a First Responder sees one of our plates, they can feel the quiet but relentless support of the thousands of Minnesotans who have their backs—and show it.
Our First Responders put their lives on the line on every shift and every call. They are on the front line every day, forever keeping us safe and taking care of us in our hour of need. At the Minnesota 100 Club, we feel it is our duty to do everything we can to take care of and support these brave men and women. We are so grateful to know that so many of you share that same mission.
Thank you!
