Meet Power Partners Little Jewels & Rob Dob’s

Prosperity for McLean County won’t happen by chance. We need a community-wide movement of passionate individuals, community leaders, and businesses. Our Power Partners step up and take the lead to open pathways to prosperity across McLean County with us.

We’re thrilled to introduce you to our incredible Power Partners: Little Jewels Learning Center, a place where families feel connected and children can grow and learn; and Rob Dob’s Restaurant and Bar, a local fine dining experience. Both businesses are owned by Bob and Julie Dobski.

Little Jewels and Rob Dob’s owner Julie Dobski loves McLean County’s people: “This is a community filled with kindness, hard work, and a spirit of giving. Whether it’s families, students, or local businesses, people here truly care about one another and make this a wonderful place to live and work.” 

Julie has confidence that McLean County will thrive because of the generosity and collaboration showcased by its residents. She shares, “Every day we see people helping others—supporting families, volunteering, mentoring youth, and strengthening our local economy. That sense of shared responsibility for one another gives us confidence in a bright future.” Which is why Julie and Bob chose to be a UWMC Power Partner: “We believe in working together to create opportunities for all. By partnering, we can help families grow stronger, support early education, and build a community where everyone has the chance to thrive.” Their commitment as UWMC event sponsors and programming partners makes a vital difference today and continues to unlock a bright future for everyone who calls McLean County home!

Thanks to the Power Partnership with Little Jewels and Rob Dob’s, McLean County residents of all ages have access to the UWMC support and resources they need to step into a bright future.
