Benefit For Julie Dombo

The Butler Community College Hospitality and Culinary Students are hosting a chili cook- off and a silent auction. All proceeds will go to help Mrs. Dombo with her inordinate amount of financial need for on-going therapy, home configurations and prosthetics. The chili feed and silent auction will be held on December 11th from 4 p.m to 8:30 p.m. at the Campus High School, during the Derby vs. Campus basketball games.

On August 11, 2015 Julie Dombo, a retired Middle School Counselor in the Haysville School District, was shopping at the AT&T store in Derby, Ks, when a man entered and attempted to rob the store. During the robbery, Mrs. Dombo was shot. Due to complications it was necessary to amputate portions of each of her four limbs. Mrs. Dombo and her husband John have lived in Derby for many years. Mr. Dombo is a 27 year veteran of the Hospitality Industry and a current Adjunct Professor for the Hospitality and Culinary Arts Program and Butler Community College. Julie and her family are, remarkably, in great spirits considering the enormity of this tragedy.

Julie Dombo Recovery And Rehab Fund

Julie is a former counselor in the Haysville school district.

On August 11th, Julie Dombo was injured by gunshots at an AT&T Wireless store in Derby, Kansas during an attempted robbery. As a school counselor for many years, Julie had been victim to the very type of person she had always strived to reach and help. As she fights for her life at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, KS (under the very best care possible) – we are anticipating the resources required for her forthcoming recovery and would ask your help in offsetting those costs.
