About the 100 Year Club

The 100 Year Club of the Western Reserve was created in 1953 to honor an elite group of our region’s corporations and institutions that have been in continuous existence for at least one hundred years. The annual celebration recognizes the longstanding entrepreneurial and philanthropic spirit embodied in these Northeast Ohio organizations, which includes over 200 members.

The 100 Year Club annual dinner recognizes the longevity and success of the existing members and inducts new members who have reached the 100-year milestone. This dinner, held on December 3, 2018, is open to anyone who wishes to celebrate the accomplishments of new and existing members
