The Fifth Annual Raise The Roof celebration, which took place at Rock Valley College on Sept. 16, drew 170 guests and raised $20,975 for Rockford Promise.
Of that total, $6,834 was raised from the guests during the event.
Rockford Promise is very thankful for everyone who chose our event on what was a packed Rockford weekend. We also are extremely grateful for the companies who helped make the night a success. Those include our corporate sponsors – Rockford University, Northern Illinois University, Elite Fastener, Midwest Packaging, Trotter Manufacturing, Meemic Insurance, and the Rockford Education – and the food vendors, Olivo Taco, Olive Branch and Bacon Me Crazy.
We’d also like to congratulate the winners of our second annual Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament, Christina Fredrick and Linda Fennestead.
There are just 2 weeks left before RPS 205 goes on Winter Break!
Remember, you must file for FAFSA or the alternative financial aid AND apply to Rockford University, Rock Valley College, Northern Illinois University, and/or Saint Anthony College of Nursing BEFORE submitting an application for a Rockford Promise Scholarship!
