The Bruce and Cecilia Petersen Foundation Trust

The Bruce and Cecilia Petersen Foundation Trust was created by Jerry Bruce Petersen in June 2015, per his trust agreement, to support relief of the poor in the state of Utah. Mr. Petersen grew up in a small town in Cache County, Utah. He worked as a sheep herder with his father and family. Over time he continued to purchase land in Cache Valley, Utah. Later, he decided to move from Cache Valley to Salt Lake City, Utah where he continued to work as an entrepreneur buying and selling different assets and properties to amass his wealth. After marrying his wife, Cecilia, they became more passionate about helping the poor in Utah. Bruce and Cecilia were both very driven people who were ambitious in their pursuits and passions. They created a foundation with the intent to give to those in need and to leave a lasting impact on the community in which they lived.
