Cleveland 100 will host its 2016 Annual Meeting & Awards Dinner Thursday, 6 p.m. at Cleveland Country Club .
Cleveland 100 was founded in 1996 by Mayor Tom Rowland and the late Courtney McGrady (ATF Agent). It is a non-profit funded by individual and corporate memberships and donations.
Its mission is to provide immediate financial assistance for families of first responders who may lose their lives in the line of duty in Cleveland and Bradley County. They also provide scholarships for first responders who may wish to further their education and to high school grads entering any field of emergency services.
The annual meeting Thursday night will recognize first responders who have “gone above and beyond” this past year.
It is also being dedicated to the late Lt.
Gil Frederick, a 22 year fighter, who lost his battle to cancer in June of this year.
