The 200 Club of Union County

The 200 Club of Union County Since 1968, we are dedicated to supporting and celebrating first responders and their families in Union County, NJ.

The Police Officers and Firefighters in Union County are the front lines of safety and security for all of our residents. These people perform their jobs admirably on a daily basis with little thought of self when faced with dangerous situations. It is not for fame nor fortune that they do their job, but for a moral sense of what is right for their community. The Two Hundred Club of Union County r

ecognizes and supports the efforts of our uniformed protectors … we hope you will consider actively supporting police officers and firefighters in Union County as well. The Two Hundred Club of Union County was formed in 1968 when a group of concerned business people saw the need to publicly recognize the valiant actions of our Police Officers, Firefighters and State Troopers here in Union County. The goal was to make it known that their efforts to help others do not go unnoticed. The Two Hundred Club is a nationwide organization with independent chapters throughout the country – with Union County as one of the oldest and largest in the state. Valor Awards & Luncheon:
Since 1968, The 200 Club has held an Annual Valor Awards luncheon every spring to recognize those that have performed above and beyond the call of duty. The recipients are chosen by our Valor Awards Committee after recommendations are made by the Chiefs of Police and Fire Departments in the 21 municipalities of Union County. Since 1968, over 450 Police Officers and Firefighters have been publicly honored for selfless acts of heroism and bravery. The luncheon, which is held in May of each year, is attended by over 400 business leaders from Union County. The Annual Valor Awards presents an opportunity to also reflect on the lives of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the protection of others. It is with profound respect that we honor these brave men and women. SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS:

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE for Surviving Dependents: For those that made the ultimate sacrifice for the protection of others, The Two Hundred Club of Union County provides financial assistance to their spouse and children. MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS for the children of those killed while in the line of
duty, The Two Hundred Club assists these students in their college career. ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS: A competitive scholarship program awarded to the children of active duty police officers and firefighters employed in Union County. CONTINUING EDUCATION GRANTS:
For Police Officers and Firefighters working in Union County, the Two Hundred Club provides assistance to continue their education and training in their profession.

25 years have passed, but we will always remember.

On September 11, 2001, 343 FDNY members made the supreme sacrifice while responding to the attacks of the World Trade Center. Their losses continue, their memory endures. We never forget. We are so grateful for their heroic acts.

Twenty-five years have passed since September 11, 2001, yet the memories of that day remain deeply etched in our hearts and in the history of our nation.

On this 25th anniversary, the 200 Club of Union County pauses to remember those we lost and to honor the extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and service of the first responders, law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, and countless others who answered the call in the days and weeks that followed.

We also remember those who have since lost their lives to illnesses related to their service and exposure after 9/11. Their sacrifice, like the sacrifice of those we lost that day, will never be forgotten.

Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor. We remain grateful. We will never forget.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the horrific September 11th, 2001 attacks. An excerpt from the 9/11 memorial website puts it best: "A quarter century later, 100 million Americans are too young to remember the day that changed our city and nation forever. It is our shared promise — made 25 years ago — to never forget so those born after 9/11 learn its significance and enduring legacy. As we commemorate this anniversary, a new generation will learn about the unimaginable loss we experienced and the inspiring stories of bravery, compassion, unity, and service that we witnessed, and have rippled through the decades."

May we remember the lives that were lost today and every day, and may we celebrate our heroes both living and dead who showed up to defend our country and save as many people as possible.

An excerpt from the Mental Health Services Administration: September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness, promote hope, and normalize help-seeking. Su***de affects millions of people every year, yet too many struggle in silence. Whether you’re facing challenges, supporting a friend or loved one, or are looking to help, your voice matters. This month is dedicated to recognizing the warning signs for su***de, encouraging open conversations about mental health, and connecting people to proven treatment and resources. When we stand together in strength, dignity, hope, and purpose, we can make a difference—we can help save lives.

September marks National Preparedness Month. This year’s theme is, "Americans Stand Ready", and throughout the month, FEMA will celebrate and encourage American resourcefulness and civic responsibility. This year’s theme will focus on several distinct ideas that capture how Americans take pride in their ability to protect themselves and their families and work together to recover from disasters:
-Americans stand ready to uphold our patriotic duty: When individuals are prepared and self-reliant, we can bolster the work our brave first responders do to help people on their worst day.
-Americans stand ready to protect our family and friends: We know best how to keep our loved ones safe when things go wrong.
-Americans stand ready to help our communities: Taking a proactive approach to get your community ready contributes to the nation’s resilience.

Do your part to protect yourself, your family, and your neighbors. Learn more about this
initiative at ready.gov or contact your local response agency.

As we prep to start the school year safely, plan and walk a safe route to school, teaching kids to use crosswalks and obey traffic rules. Look both ways before crossing the street, and always walk with a buddy! when traveling in a vehicle, practice bus and car safety, like arriving early and wearing seatbelts.

This safety tip was brought to you by the Westfield Police department.
