November is a time to reflect on gratitude, and as I look back on this past year, I am especially thankful for the incredible community that surrounds the Hundred Club of Massachusetts.
To our members, donors, sponsors, and supporters, thank you for believing in our mission and for standing beside the families we are honored to serve. Your generosity and commitment make it possible for us to be there when families need us most.
One of the greatest privileges of this work is the relationships we build along the way. Over the past year, we have shared meaningful moments, created lasting connections, embraced new families into our Hundred Club community, and strengthened the bonds that make this organization so special. Every family has a story, and it is an honor to walk alongside them and remind them that they are never alone.
As we head into the holiday season, please know how much your support means. Thank you for being part of this community and for helping us ensure that the families of fallen police officers and firefighters are supported not just today, but for a lifetime.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Tracie A. Hines
Executive Director
Our heartfelt thanks go to John Fish, Chairman and CEO of Suffolk, and Clayton Turnbull, Board Member of The Hundred Club of Massachusetts, for bringing together an incredible group of business and community leaders for an Executive Breakfast in support of our mission.
The morning brought an extraordinary announcement that has the potential to make an incredible difference for the families we serve. During the breakfast, John Fish issued a generous $100,000 matching challenge: if we collectively raise $100,000 in contributions inspired by this gathering, John will personally contribute another $100,000!
That’s $200,000 for the families of fallen police officers and firefighters!
This is an extraordinary opportunity, and we need your help to make it happen. We encourage everyone who attended, believes in our mission, or wants to stand behind the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to make a contribution today. Every gift brings us one step closer to unlocking John’s incredible generosity and doubling the impact of this generous commitment.
Beyond the fundraising opportunity, the morning was a meaningful reminder of why our work matters. We came together to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our communities and to reaffirm our commitment to the families whose lives are forever changed by their loss.
Let’s come together, meet this challenge, and turn John’s extraordinary generosity into lasting support for the families who need us most.
Give today. Help us reach $100,000. Together, we can make it $200,000.

The Hundred Club of Massachusetts was honored to attend the 126th Annual Convention of the Massachusetts Police Association. Executive Director, Tracie Hines had the opportunity to speak and share our mission with attendees. The families of Uxbridge Police Officer, Stephen LaPorta, and Mass State Trooper, Keving Trainor – who were both killed in the line of duty this year – were honored, along with many others who received awards for their acts of bravery and selflessness.
Hearing their stories of courage, dedication, and heroism was truly inspiring and a powerful reminder of the extraordinary individuals who serve and protect our communities every day. We are grateful for the service and sacrifice of all who serve.

A visit to the Brockton Fire Museum was a truly special experience for the Hundred Club of Massachusetts. The museum houses an incredible collection of firefighting history, preserving the stories, traditions, and legacies of the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our communities. Among its treasures were historical newspaper articles documenting the Hundred Club dating back to 1965. Seeing our organization’s history preserved alongside the rich heritage of the fire service was especially meaningful. These pieces of history serve as a reminder of where we began, how our mission has evolved, and the generations of first responders and families who have shaped our story. We are incredibly grateful for the importance the museum places on preserving this history so that future generations can learn, remember, and appreciate the sacrifices and service that came before them. Thank you to Eddie Williams and Don Wood for a great tour!
