CHANGING LIVES. TRANSFORMING OUR REGION.

Hail to the (RVC) king and queen

October 31, 2022

October was a cool month for two of our Rockford Promise Scholars.

Danna Castillo and Kavonnie Dotson were elected homecoming king and queen.

Danna is an Auburn High School grad who started at Rock Valley College in 2021-2022. Danna is thriving at RVC, making the Dean’s List in both semesters her freshman year.

Kavonnie is one of 21 new Rockford Promise Scholars at RVC. The homecoming honor shows that the former Rockford East track star also is fast making friends on campus.

College success takes more than tuition.
It takes the right ingredients, and one of those ingredients is YOU!

For Rockford Promise Scholars, our Recipe for Success includes tuition-free college AND the support that keeps students moving forward — advising, mentorship, and someone checking in when things get hard.

When we asked our donors what made the biggest difference in their own journeys, a common theme emerged: having someone in your corner.

Your gift helps provide the full recipe, not just one ingredient. Donate here – bit.ly/RockfordPromiseAppeal
