Our History
Sterling P. Colomb, Sr. founded the Colomb Foundation in 2003, after losing his beloved wife, Verna “Pappie” Colomb to breast cancer and several months later he lost his beautiful daughter, Trineisha “Dene” Colomb to a predator serial killer. After his two horrific loses he did not want anyone to feel the hurt he experienced. His passion is to turn something bad into something good by helping others.
