Carolyn A. Petrus Memorial Seeing Eye Dog Fund

Carolyn had a special place in her heart for animals, especially dogs and cats. A new chapter in life presented Carolyn with the idea of dedicating herself to philanthropic work. She was very excited and began researching how she could help not only people, but also her beloved animals. Her life took a sudden turn as illness overtook her, and she realized that her newfound dream would not materialize during her lifetime. During this time, her brother had serious vision problems and suffered some permanent blindness. Those who knew her best believe that this occurrence contributed to Carolyn's decision to gift the Seeing Eye Dog Fund. It is a personal and loving choice that speaks to her resolve to help both man and man's best friend. The fund provides funding for organizations that raise, train, and match seeing-eye dogs to the people who need them.
