Our vision is a Chicago and beyond where all can thrive, free of the fear of gun violence
The Race Against Gun Violence (RAGV) celebrates the life-changing work of community organizations and provides a dynamic platform for people across Chicago who care about ending gun violence to connect and get involved. In 2026, we expand the RAGV to Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York to support local Charity Partners in cities across the nation.
The race platform provides us with a timely opportunity through which each of our partner organizations can come together to raise thousands of unrestricted dollars, to support their summer programming.
By providing this highly visible platform at no cost to our partners, we hope to leverage the growth of these organizations in terms of their visibility, capacity, networks and impact.
You can find all RAGV cities under “Events”
