Join Team Firehouse in the 2025 Race Against Violence and help us raise $30,000 to purchase two vans that will safely transport youth and young adults to transformative opportunities, from job training and therapy to cultural outings and court advocacy. Every mile you walk, run, or cheer helps our young people move forward with dignity and direction.

Your steps help fund the movement.

Firehouse Community Arts Center has been a cultural anchor in North Lawndale for 18 years, using arts, mentoring, housing, and street outreach to interrupt cycles of violence. When you race with us, you're not just running, you're investing in a community where hope, healing, and hip hop lead the way.

How to Get Involved:

• Choose your distance: 8K Run, 5K Run, 2 Mile Walk, or Kids for Peace Sprint
• Choose The Firehouse Community Arts Center as your charity of choice.
• Fundraise or donate to support Firehouse's $30,000 goal
• Invite your friends, family, and coworkers to join Team Firehouse
• Share your why on social media using #StridesForPeace and #FirehouseOnTheMove
• This is more than a race. It’s a statement.

We believe in a Chicago free from the fear of gun violence. And we believe in moving together to get there.
