"If the entire world would speak their mind, but still listen to what people say, then Heaven on Earth would be created.

Everyday I live life the way I want to live it, CARPE DIEM."


— Carl Vuillaume

The life of Carl Vuillaume was truly a gift to all those who came in contact with him. To keep on giving in his memory, “The Gift of Carl Foundation” has been started. Throughout his life, Carl was encouraged to pursue many interests and he learned how to have fun in all sorts of diverse activities.

Playing was his favorite pastime, and he recognized that you play sports, play instruments, play outside, and act in plays. Carl touched many people in his short life through his spirit and smile, and taught us all to enjoy the here and now.

The Foundation is dedicated to the enhancement of educational opportunities in the areas that provided Carl the greatest joy:
