Let's talk gun violence prevention and community violence intervention!

The Race Against Gun Violence is 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. There are several options to participate: 8K, 5K, 2-mile walk, or a Kids for Peace Sprint. Please come be part of a wonderful movement!
