LBDI 2019 Fundraiser
The Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI) is a Junior League of Rockford (JLR) advocacy campaign held April 15 through April 19, 2019. During the week we encourage members and outside participants to wear black attire to illustrate we are united as an organization and to bring awareness to the mission of the Junior League of Rockford. All community members are welcome and encouraged to participate. If you don’t want to wear black, you can still support the cause by sponsoring a participant, sharing our Facebook page or join us at LBDI events.

strong leaders make strong communities
The Junior League welcomes all women who value our Mission. We are committed to inclusive environments of diverse individuals, organizations and communities. Our training is what sets us apart from other volunteer organizations. A century of experience has taught us that strong leaders make strong communities. By training women to be effective collaborators, poised negotiators, and committed volunteers we equip them to go out and serve their communities. Together they weave a network that strengthens the capacity of society to meet the needs of its members.

WHO IS THE JLR? The Junior League of Rockford is a charitable, not-for-profit organization of women who make sustainable improvements in their communities as a result of the civic leadership training and expertise they obtain through their experience in the League. We are movers and shakers, mothers and daughters, students and graduates, activists and philanthropists, dreamers and believers. From all generations, all walks of life, bound by a single goal: to improve the health and well-being of women, children, and families in our community. What sets Junior League volunteers apart from the rest? We are not only women who want to improve communities, we take pride in providing the training and skills to drive change as leaders.
