The Open Door Gallery invites the public to join in the establishment of a new charitable fund in memory of Patrick Arseneau. Arseneau was a longtime volunteer, friend, and artist at the Open Door Gallery in Sturgis.

Remembered for his genuine kindness, the Patrick Arseneau Memorial fund will create a permanent legacy, perpetuating acts of kindness in Arseneau’s name. The fund will exist to support charitable programs and projects that support and enhance the quality of life for residents of St. Joseph County. Grants will be made annually to local nonprofits in Pat’s name.

Gifts to the Patrick Arseneau Memorial Fund may be made online or mailed directly to the Sturgis Area Community Foundation at 310 N. Franks Avenue, Sturgis, MI 49091. Questions may be directed to Lindsay@sturgisfoundation.org.
