Rockford, IL – Get ready to unleash your inner superstar and support a vital cause! The Citied Foundation hosted a lively and heartwarming karaoke night at District Bar and Grill this past Sunday, drawing a crowd eager to spread love and raise awareness for mental health.
This marked the second annual “Sing for Support” karaoke event, a cornerstone initiative for the foundation.

The funds raised will directly benefit our Early Bird’s Social Development program, which provides essential support and skills-building opportunities for young people in our community.”

It addresses critical needs within the community, empowering young individuals to thrive and reach their full potential.
Beyond the fundraising aspect, the karaoke night served as a powerful reminder of the importance of community connection and open conversations about mental health. The event created a space where attendees felt comfortable sharing their experiences, offering support to one another, and celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
