The Houston Texans have made a donation of $10,000 to The 100 Club following the recent deaths and injuries to local law enforcement officers.
Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies corporal Charles Galloway and sergeant Ramon Gutierrez were both killed in the line of duty last week in separate incidents. Three Houston Police Department officers were also injured in a shootout in downtown on Jan. 27.
The 100 Club provides financial support to the dependents of firefighters and law enforcement officers who die or are seriously injured in the line of duty. The 100 Club’s area comprises the 32 counties surrounding the Houston area.
“We are proud to make a contribution to the 100 Club of Houston in honor of Corporal Galloway, Sergeant Gutierrez and the officers injured downtown earlier this week,” Texas chair and CEO Cal McNair said. “Our first responders are every day heroes and we are grateful for their dedication to Houston.”
The 100 Club executive director William Skeen says they are thankful from the contribution from the McNair family and the Texans.
“We appreciate the long-term support and partnership with the Houston Texans and McNair family,” Skeen said. “Their continual support of The 100 Club allows us to assist our heroes in their time of need. This donation will enable us to assist the families of our recently fallen, and seriously injured officers and firefighters. This also enables The 100 Club to fulfill our other mission of providing life protecting equipment to help keep our heroes safe.”
