Friends of the Coronado

The Friends of the Coronado Foundation is a not-for-profit organization formed in 1997 to launch a fund-raising campaign to expand, restore and renovate Rockford's "Wonder Theatre." The Friends of the Coronado organization would go on to guide every detail of the planning, community involvement and fundraising for the $18.5 million theater project, which was awarded the highest honor by the United States Department of the Interior.
