The 200 Club of Monmouth County Honors our First Responders

Dear Editor

On National First Responders Day, the 200 Club of Monmouth County proudly joins our neighbors in recognizing the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe.

Police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics run toward danger when others run away. They are the first to arrive at the scene of a crisis — providing critical aid, comfort, and protection in our most vulnerable moments. Their courage and selflessness represent the very best of Monmouth County and of New Jersey.

Since our founding more than 50 years ago, the 200 Club of Monmouth County has stood behind these heroes and their families — providing financial support to those who make the ultimate sacrifice and scholarships to the children of our law enforcement, fire, and EMS professionals. It is our way of saying thank you to those who dedicate their lives to serving others.

Today, and every day, we encourage residents to take a moment to thank a first responder in their community — whether it’s a simple handshake, a note of appreciation, or supporting organizations that honor their service. Their work often goes unseen, but it should never go unappreciated.

To all our first responders: we see you, we honor you, and we thank you.

Mary Pat Angelini, President
The 200 Club of Monmouth County
