Our mission is to make every Rockfordian proud to call the Forest City home. With our rich past, our revitalizing present, and our bright future; there is a lot to love about this amazing city. Time and time again economic, social, and natural crises have tested Rockford’s strength and resilience, but our city continues to stand tall.

We at Rockford Proud do not ignore Rockford’s failings, but actively rail against them with prideful facts and stories about the city we love. We are more than rankings on a website.  We are more than a strip mall. We are Real. Original. Rockford.
