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 Benefit Fund (CDMBF) stands as a permanent tribute to Carrie’s legacy. The fund will allow individual and company gifts to benefit the pets at the Connecticut Humane Society in perpetuity, extending the reach of the accomplishments we’ve already made on behalf of all of the animals.
Since our inception in August 2016, we have raised nearly $150,000 for CHS. These fund help CHS provide food and shelter, medical care, training and so much more for abandoned, neglected and abused animals.
Our 2025 campaign raised more than $18,000 for CHS. We want to keep the momentum going in 2026!
About Caroline Dorman
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 our hearts. Her family and friends chose to honor her memory by creating the CDMBF and choosing 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.
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 Benefit 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
Caroline Dorman was a lifelong resident of Farmington, CT. She attended the Farmington Public Schools, graduated from Farmington High School, and attended Tunxis Community College.
Carrie 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 the "pit bull whisperer" for her special connection to bully breed dogs.
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.
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 $150,000 to help CHS provide love, shelter, and care for abandoned, neglected, and abused animals in need of adoption or fostering.
The Caroline Dorman Memorial Benefit Fund 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.
