$100 CLUB CAMPAIGN
The $100 club is campaign designed to allow businesses, private donors or organizations to contribute
to the Line Of Duty Death benefit. GBTB provides first responders with a $5000 death benefit upon a
line of duty death that fits PSOBA guidelines. Each club member will donate $100 per LODD death
incident. In return, a letter will be attached with the bereavement letter given by our organization
notifying the surviving family of the club members who have supported the cause.
2. Each club member will receive a placard to post at their business, residence or headquarters stating you
are a member and support your first responders. What a great way to build rapport within the
community. Our goal is to reach at least 50 members so that we can match our $5000 LODD benefit
and provide the surviving family with $10,000. Donate online by clicking on the "Donate Today"
button or mail in your donation by clicking here for our mail in form.
