From the Organizer
The Race Against Gun Violence (RAGV) celebrates the life-changing work of community organizations and provides a dynamic platform for people who care about ending gun violence to not only raise direct unrestricted funds, but also connect and grow their network. Qualifying 501(c)(3) Charity Partners get 10 free entries to kickoff fundraising through the RAGV platform.
The RAGV has raised over $1million in unrestricted funds since its founding in 2014, and over 1500 run/walk participants joined the 2025 Chicago event, alone. Strides for Peace has partnered with 300+ organizations in its lifetime. Join LA's inaugural Race Against Gun Violence and become part of the growing national network!
