Supporting the Animals Caroline Loved So Much
Dear Friends of the Caroline Dorman Memorial Benefit (CDMB),
In the summer of 2024, after eight successful years of in-person and virtual events, the Caroline Dorman Memorial Benefit Committee announced the creation of an endowed fund to benefit the pets at the Connecticut Humane Society (CHS).
The Caroline Dorman Memorial Fund stands as a permanent tribute to Carrie’s legacy while building on the tremendous grassroots success of the annual CDMB. The fund will allow your gifts to continue to benefit the pets at the Connecticut Humane Society in perpetuity, extending the reach of the accomplishments you’ve already made on behalf of all of the animals.
Our 2024 endowment launch raised nearly $20,000. Combined with the $111,000 raised between 2016 and 2023 through our in-person and virtual Benefits, we have contributed close to $130,000 for CHS. These fund help CHS provide love, shelter, and care for abandoned, neglected and abused animals.
About Caroline
Caroline fiercely loved all animals, from turtles and rabbits to cats and dogs. She had a special place in her heart for pit bulls, which led her to become a volunteer dog-walker for eight years at CHS, where she earned the nickname of “Pit Bull Whisperer.”
Caroline’s untimely and tragic passing in November 2015, at age 27, left a hole in the hearts of many. We came together as friends and family to honor her memory by creating the CDMB and chose CHS as the beneficiary.
Endowing a permanent fund in Caroline’s memory was the logical next step in our journey. Donations to the Caroline Dorman Memorial Fund will provide critical and ongoing support for general shelter pet care at CHS. Stay tuned for an announcement on the launch of the 2025 campaign!
We humbly ask you to consider making a donation by clicking the button below. You can alternatively make a check payable to the Connecticut Humane Society, with “Caroline Dorman Memorial Fund” in the memo line, and mail it to the Connecticut Humane Society, CDMB Fund, 701 Russell Road, Newington, CT 06111.
We are proud and appreciative of the tremendous support we’ve received. Your generosity will enable to provide CHS with an annual donation of the interest earned from the endowed fund. Thank you!

Our Mission and History
Our Mission and History
The Caroline Dorman Memorial Benefit began as an annual event launched in 2016 to honor the memory of Caroline Dorman by raising funds for the Connecticut Humane Society. In 2024, we launched the Caroline Dorman Memorial Fund to create a permanent endowment.
Since 2016, we have raised nearly $130,000 to help CHS provide love, shelter, and care for abandoned, neglected, and abused animals in need of adoption or fostering.
A lifelong resident of Farmington, Caroline attended the Farmington Public Schools, graduated from Farmington High School, and attended Tunxis Community College.
Caroline was an artist, a thinker, and a lover of animals, both great and small. Caroline volunteered for 8 years at the Connecticut Humane Society (CHS) in Newington, CT. She was immeasurably generous with her time, energy, and love of the animals at CHS, where she became known as a "pit bull whisperer."
After Caroline’s untimely death in November 2015 at age 27, her family and close friends established the Caroline Dorman Memorial Benefit Fund to support CHS.
Our Benefit Committee is comprised of Harriet Margolis, Larry Dorman, Carolyn Fink, Tom Sullivan, Jen Sullivan, Rita Demo, Jeremy Lundblad, Katie Bradley, Nora Lesko, Mike Feldman, Monica Feldman and Rachel Sit.
