About Us
Rocket Boosters is a volunteer, non-profit organization that supports and promotes all extracurricular activities of students in grades 7-12 attending Rockford Area Schools. New members are always welcome. The Boosters fundraise throughout the school year through our annual golf event, homecoming tailgate, spiritwear sales and concessions. We enjoy collaborating with the school district and other organizations to support our students and their various needs in extracurricular activities. Everyone involved in Rocket Boosters sincerely appreciates your support. The Boosters meet monthly throughout the school year, typically on the first Monday of each month in an RCC meeting room from 6:00-7:30pm.
