Dave and Cheryl Duffield founded Maddie’s Fund in 1994 to honor their delightfully feisty dog. While playing together one evening, they made her a promise: If they ever had the ability to do so, they would give back to her kind so others could experience the same joy they had with Maddie. Dave and Cheryl made good on that promise after achieving success in the enterprise software industry. With the financial resources and a compassionate vision, they have endowed Maddie's Fund to create a lasting safety net of care for companion animals by supporting innovative adoption and wellness programs, communities and leaders. All thanks to Maddie.
