Kudos to a local gym in Rockford who is raising money for the families who have been affected by the shooting in Aurora last month.

Earlier this month, an awful event happened about an hour and a half outside of Rockford in Aurora, Illinois.

Five employees died and five police officers were hurt in a shooting and of course that left many families devastated and in need of financial help.

One Rockford gym, OrangeTheory Rockford is trying to offset that financial burden this Friday.

While I don't know for sure, I'm almost certain even if you're not a member you could drop by and donate money to the cause this Friday at OTF Rockford. They are located on E. State Street across from Target.
