Supporting the city of denton’s public safety officers since 1998.

The 100 club of denton's mission is to provide financial assistance to families of public safety officers who are seriously injured or killed in the line of duty and to provide resources to enhance their safety and welfare.

In 1997, City of Denton Police Chief Michael Jez commissioned Officer Derik Hartsfield to work on a project of getting the public more involved with the police department and City of Denton Police Officers. It was important to the Chief that the public support and promote the local City of Denton Police Department and its officers. In an effort to do that, Officer Derik Hartsfield contacted local attorney Gregory J. Sawko to assist and they worked on putting together a non-profit organization to promote the department and its officers. Based upon multiple months of research, Mr. Sawko and Officer Hartsfield determined that forming a recognized police support organization club would be the best method to accomplish Chief Jez’s plan. As such, on April 23, 1997, The Hundred Club of Denton Texas, Inc. was formed. The initial board of directors of the Hundred Club of Denton Texas, Inc. were, Gregory J. Sawko, Harry Hall (Denton Area Teachers Credit Union) and Troy LaGrone (President of Ben E. Keith Corporation). Since its founding, The Hundred Club of Denton, Texas has helped support Denton Police Officers in time of need or crisis and remains a viable support organization true to its original statement of purpose. We are a recognized 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, and your contributions are tax-deductible.
