For six decades, when Illinois first responders have faced some of the most difficult moments of their lives, the <a href="https://www.100clubil.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">100 Club of Illinois</a> has been there.&nbsp;&nbsp;
To celebrate it’s 60th Anniversary, the 100 Club of Illinois &nbsp;will host “Toast to Hope” on Thursday, October 1st at 6:00 p.m. at Morgan Manufacturing (401 N Morgan Street) in Chicago. The evening will feature an array of culinary experiences, crafted cocktails, live entertainment and stories celebrating the first responders, families, supporters and community leaders&nbsp; who have made the organization's work possible.&nbsp; A VIP Reception from 5–6 p.m. will give guests an opportunity to connect with public safety leaders from agencies across Illinois and sample the limited-edition 100 Club Bourbon, courtesy of Blue Run Spirits.&nbsp;
Proceeds from “Toast to Hope” will help the 100 Club continue providing financial assistance, training, resources and support to families of first responders killed in the line of duty as well as to the active-duty first responders who continue to serve communities across Illinois.The 100 Club of Illinois also runs a statewide First Responder Support Service Network covering everything from PTSD and depression to nutrition, sleep, fitness, and mindset. It has trained more than 15,000 active-duty first responders in mental health and wellness. It has delivered over $300,000 in emergency frontline funding to first responders and departments in crisis. And since 2023, its Frontline Convention has brought together 1,690 attendees to address officer wellness head-on.&nbsp; Since its inception, the 100 Club of Illinois has served 330+ families, delivered $18 million in financial assistance, and helped 487 children of fallen heroes earn college degrees. It has evolved from a group of Chicago-area business leaders pooling $200 annual contributions into a statewide organization fighting on two fronts,&nbsp; for the families left behind and for the first responders still on the line.For more information on 100 Club of Illinois or to purchase tickets for “Toast to Hope,” please visit <a href="https://www.100clubil.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.100clubil.org</a>.&nbsp;

Having a certified service dog provides a wide range of practical, emotional, and social benefits especially for individuals with disabilities. Several of the key benefits Increased Independence, A service dog can perform daily tasks that would otherwise require help from another person &mdash; such as opening doors, picking up dropped items, pulling a wheelchair, or alerting to sounds or medical conditions. This allows the handler to move through the world with more freedom and confidence.
The Physical Assistance a dog can provide those with mobility challenges can: Retrieve objects, open and close doors, push buttons, or turn lights on/off. Provide balance and stability while walking or transferring and help prevent or mitigate falls by offering steadying support.
Service dogs still often provide profound emotional grounding. They can help reduce anxiety, panic, or PTSD symptoms through trained interventions. Their presence can enhance calm, confidence, and focus.
Service dogs can be trained to detect seizures, blood sugar changes, or heart rate irregularities before they happen. Retrieve medication or alert others for help. Wake up a person from night terrors or fainting episodes. This can be life-saving for people with conditions like epilepsy, diabetes, or cardiac disorders.
Service dogs can reduce stigma and isolation by encouraging positive social interaction and helping others understand disability in a more compassionate way creating a Social Connection and Inclusion
Caring for and working with a service dog provides daily rhythm and responsibility, which can be especially beneficial for individuals managing depression, autism, or PTSD.
Family members and caregivers often feel reassured knowing their loved one has a trained, reliable partner to assist in emergencies or everyday situations.
