CAASE is taking part in the Strides for Peace Race Against Gun Violence for a 7th year! Help empower teens to become allies against sexual harm when you pledge your run and raise funds for CAASE’s Prevention Education programs. Scroll down to learn about your options. ​​

Registration to be a part of the Race for CAASE Team has now closed. If you would still like to participate in the race, you can register through Strides for Peace.

Participants commit to raising funds for CAASE by meeting individual fundraising pledges. Fundraising pledges are due in full by Friday, June 28, 2024. If you do not meet this target, your credit card will be charged the difference between your target and what you have raised. Pledges made by Race For CAASE team members support CAASE’s prevention programs and are not a requirement of the Race Against Gun Violence. 

Participation

The Race for CAASE Team will be hitting the track on June 6, at 6pm in the Strides for Peace 2024 Race Against Gun Violence at Chicago’s Grant Park Upper Hutchinson Field (Balbo and Columbus Dr).  It’s a perfect opportunity to meet our community of allies, survivors, and activists!​​

Committed to Violence Prevention

CAASE is dedicated to holistic violence prevention throughout Chicago and is proud to participate, with over 40 other organizations, as a Community Affiliate in the Strides for Peace Race Against Gun Violence. Our goal is to end violence against women with prevention education for youth; creating attitudes and mindsets that undermine gender disparity, prostitution, sex trafficking, and the violence that frequently accompanies these realities.
