This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is Jamie DeMent Holcomb.
Holcomb is the executive director of Kidzu Children’s Museum. Kidzu’s University Place location suffered irreparable damage when a water main busted, flooding the space. Within hours, Holcomb was leading her staff to continue their regular programming. Not only are we honoring Holcomb, but we’re also honoring the many people around our community who have stepped up to aid Kidzu during this time of need, including the Chapel Hill Fire Department, Binkley Baptist Church, and so many more.
