In Memory of Karen Dutt-Doner, PhD

Our dear friend and colleague Karen Dutt-Doner, PhD, passed away after a very brief illness, leaving behind her family members Todd, Allison, Megan and Shannon. Karen meant the world to them, her colleagues here at Canisius and World Gym. A GoFundMe page has been created to help support her husband and children as they carry on with life amidst their grief. All contributions will be given to Todd to spend as he sees fit. In the short term we request funds to support vegan meal preparation and performing household duties.
