Paul Dostie KARE Foundation Mission

Paul Dostie was known throughout Guilford and the Connecticut shoreline as a mentor, small business owner, and, above all, a true friend. His kindness and generosity touched countless lives. Following his untimely passing from Glioblastoma (GBM), his family honored his legacy by establishing the Paul Dostie KARE “Kindness Always Rewards Everyone” Foundation.

The KARE Foundation provides financial assistance to families facing Glioblastoma brain cancer and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), helping with travel, medical, and other expenses during incredibly difficult times.

Continuing Paul’s passion for mentoring, the Foundation also provides scholarships and financial support to young adults pursuing careers in the skilled trades.
