Event Fundraiser: Strides For Peace - 2020 Race Against Gun Violence
Welcome to the Mundelein My Brother's Keeper Community & Mundelein Black Student Fundraising page!
On behalf of The Mundelein My Brother’s Keeper Community, and Mundelein Black Student Union we would like to thank you for contributing to The Race Against Gun Violence this year despite our current circumstances with COVID-19. What's inspiring our community to be a part of RAGV is the fact that we witness too many of our youth subject to youth violence and lack of resources that prevent these instances from happening. This is why our organization is committed to allocate the resources and create the spaces for youth empowerment and mentorship, community uplift, and equitable educational systems within our communities. No matter the circumstances or challenges, we never give up on our youth. We are running together because we are committed to the work in ensuring that young men and women commit to education, and achieve goals that lead to success in adulthood.

About Strides for Peace
Our vision is a Chicago where all can thrive and live free of the fear of gun violence. Our mission is to increase the collective impact of community organizations working to END gun violence, save lives and build a stronger Chicago.
To do this, we seek to address investment and proximity gaps in efforts to end gun violence, by funding and seeding growth for a diverse collaborative of organizations throughout the city. Strides for Peace intentionally engages different sized organizations with a spectrum of interventions and responses – gun violence is too complex to be solved by only one or two approaches: we must work together.
Our partners, who are trusted and respected in communities most impacted by violence, inform all our work. We listen to and learn from them and they listen to and learn from each other. Together, we build individual and collective capacity so we all grow more effective in addressing the impacts of, and ultimately ending, gun violence.
