ABOUT LBDI
The Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI) is an awareness and fundraising campaign employed by many Junior Leagues around the world. The Junior League of Rockford (JLR) has chosen to participate for the third time on November 15-21 2020.
Participants will wear a black dress or black outfit, as they are able, for seven consecutive days as a visible symbol of participation and to start conversations and raise awareness about literacy issues in the Rockford area. Wearing one black dress or outfit illustrates the crippling effects limited resources can play on one’s quality of life and allows members to educate themselves on the difficulties facing those in need. Participants will also solicit funds from family, friends, and coworkers to support the Junior League of Rockford and our new project, Literacy Leaders. The goal of Literacy Leaders is to lessen the consequence of illiteracy in children and provide opportunities for families to have access to books for the home.
All active members are highly encouraged to participate in this initiative as they aim to
- Raise awareness and educate themselves on the difficulties facing those in need without access to resources and how limited resources can impact our daily life.
- Start a conversation about the Junior League of Rockford and our project, Literacy Leaders
- Shine a spotlight on the issues surrounding poverty and the limits poverty can place on access to books, early reading and language development, and long-term academic achievement of the children in Rockford
