Since 1968, The 200 Club has held an Annual Valor Awards luncheon every spring to recognize those that have performed above and beyond the call of duty. The recipients are chosen by our Valor Awards Committee after recommendations are made by the Chiefs of Police and Fire Departments in the 21 municipalities of Union County. Since 1968, over 450 Police Officers and Firefighters have been publicly honored for selfless acts of heroism and bravery. The luncheon, which is held in May of each year, is attended by over 400 business leaders from Union County.
