Join us for the Race Against Gun Violence (RAGV): a powerful celebration of the life-changing work of local community organizations and a chance for everyone who cares about ending gun violence to take meaningful action.
This is your opportunity to cultivate hope: run, walk, or sprint alongside others who share the vision of a community free from gun violence. Every step counts, and 100% of charitable contributions you raise go directly to your selected Charity Partner, supporting efforts to end gun violence where it matters most.
Here’s how you can make an impact:
Spread the word—share your story on social media using #RAGV2026 #StridesForPeace and inspire others to take part.
Together, we can bring resources, connections, and support to some of Chicago’s most dedicated grassroots organizations exactly when they need it most. Every step, every dollar, every voice matters. Thank you for making Strides for Peace.

These values represent the 3-year monthly averages for June in Chicago.
Chicago is the home of the blues and the truth of jazz, the heart of comedy and the idea of the skyscraper. Here, the age of railroads found its center, and airplanes followed suit. "Stormy, Husky, Brawling / City of Big Shoulders," Chicago is a Heartland boomtown, its ethos defined by urban planner Daniel Burnham's immortal vision: "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood." It is one of the world's great cities and the third largest city in the United States, behind only New York City and Los Angeles.
