The City of Burlington Recreation & Parks Department is proud to invite you to be an honored partner in the memorial honoring Jimmy Combs. Jimmy was an avid and proud employee of the Burlington Recreation & Parks Department for over thirty years. In May of 2009, Jimmy was diagnosed with acute leukemia, a life threatening disease that would eventually take his life in November of 2009.

Jimmy absolutely loved working for the department and especially found the world of entertainment to be a niche that he enjoyed immensely. From working with local musicians in scheduling performances for the Sunset Rhythms Concert Series and July 3rd to even more prestigious bookings of national entertainers such as The Dixie Chicks, Tom Wopat, David Lee Murphy, Trick Pony and Mark Wills, his creativity and talent in entertainment will certainly be missed.

In honor of Jimmy, the Recreation & Parks Department has established a Memorial Fund to honor his dedication to the entertainment arena throughout his career with the department. The contributions made to Jimmy’s fund will be used for a complete stage renovation of the City Park amphitheater and main stage area in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Dentzel Menagerie Carousel located within the park. Your donation will be tax-deductible and you will receive receipt of your donation upon completion of your payment.

Please fill in the form below to give a one-time payment or to initiate a recurring gift over a twelve month cycle. For additional information, please contact Lisa Wolff at 336.222.5038 or .
