Rockford Lutheran students host inaugural ‘Spring Fest’

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - Crusaders in Action kicked off a family-friendly event this weekend to support several regional non-profits.

The Rockford Lutheran student-led organization hosted its inaugural “Spring Fest” this Saturday, with food, family-friendly games and activities and the a chance to walk through Lutheran High School for an open house tour.

Since the purpose was to help those who help others in the community, admission to the fest was $5 or five donation items. All proceeds went to organizations like Katie’s Cup, the Rockford Rescue Mission and Carpenter’s Place.

Crusader in Action member Adalia Young commented on plans for the bash during festivities.

“I actually had this idea when I was a Freshman,” said Young. “I really wanted to get the school really into the community and really outreach on service. Now that we are able to do it, I just really wanted to get Lutheran in the highlight and I really wanted to advertise all of these community foundations that are trying to better the community.”
