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 connect and get involved.

RAGV offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to Choose Hope and join others who share the common vision of a Chicago free from the fear of gun violence.

100% of charitable contributions go directly to your charity of choice, dedicated to ending gun violence.    Please consider donating to one of our community partner charities, consider participating in the 8k, 5k, 2 Mile Walk and Kids for Peace Sprint and getting your friends and family to join you or support you.  Consider asking businesses you are connected to to support your charity of choice for the race. We are working to bring networks, connections and resources to some of Chicago's most grass roots organizations right at the time they need them most. If we all work together, we can make a big difference in ending gun violence.
