Mark Kruzan
The Kruzan Fund for Kids and Canines
It was a random act of channel surfing that prompted Mark Kruzan to take action.
Bloomington’s mayor since 2004, Kruzan had long imagined starting an endowment with the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County. What stopped him, he says, was feeling “paralyzed” by a combination of intimidation – he didn’t think he could afford it – and indecision about what type of initiative to support. One evening, though, he happened upon a program on the local Community Access Television Service that convinced him to get started.
