Fund Raising & Fund Distribution

CHICAGO'S RACE AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE Our vision is a Chicago where all can thrive, free from the fear of gun violence. Strides for Peace believes we all have a stake in ending gun violence and that by working together, we can save lives. We are dedicated to increasing the ​collective impact of nonprofits working to stop gun violence and create a stronger Chicago. To that end, we work to empower existing community organizations, promote collaboration and elevate solution-driven dialogue of those on the front lines of ending gun violence. Strides for Peace created the Race Against Gun Violence (RAGV) to build a new platform to support community organizations and bring people together around the collective vision of a Chicago free from the fear of gun violence. The race is a 5K, 8K, kids race, and two-mile walk that convenes a diverse group of organizations and people who share the common vision of a Chicago where all can thrive.
