In 2024 alone, they’ve invested over $100,000 in Rockford nonprofits helping to move the needle.We even stopped by the Boys & Girls Club’s Stenstrom Unit to see it in action. Found the Lift Zone, played a little foosball, and witnessed digital opportunity being built right where it counts.👏 Here’s to Rockford leading with connection, collaboration, and community.
