Meet Our Team
The Mitzvah Fund was founded in 2014 by Deborah Glottmann & Connie Riggs, DVM in honor of Deb's late father Saul Glottmann. Saul had a huge heart and the only thing he loved more than his family was his exuberance towards giving. Saul taught his children to perform mitzvahs from a very young age. With each Mitzvah Fund recipient, we strive to embody Saul's spirit of selfless giving.
Today, the Mitzvah Fund is run by a small group of individuals. We operate with limited resources and a handful of trusted veterinary professionals to provide exceptional veterinary care.
