West Texas True
The 100 Club of West Texas responds to the families of officers and firefighters in Lubbock county and surrounding areas.
The 100 Club of West Texas is a 501(c)(3) organization.
History
It all began in 1953.
A group of five men – consisting of Leopold L. Meyer, Ray R. Elliot, R. H. Abercrombie, William A. “Bill” Smith, and Jim “Silver Dollar” West – realized the need to support the dependents of Houston police officers killed in the line of duty.
So they reached out and motivated 100 people to contribute $100 each toward the mission. Thus, The 100 Club was born.
For nearly 50 years, the organization focused on supporting our public servants.
As new clubs have been added across the state to support the different regions, the mission has always remained the same.
