The Race for CAASE Team was beaming as they crossed the finish line in yesterday’s Race Against Gun Violence. 78 people pledged their run and raised funds to support CAASE’s cutting-edge Prevention Programs. Their commitment to ending sexual harm and diligent work fundraising resulted in a $28,331 boost toward educating young people to deter and prevent sexual harm. 

Their fantastic efforts put us within reach of our $40,000 goal! Our team has until June 17th to reach this milestone amount and you can help. Celebrate the team’s accomplishment by donating today! You’ll be supporting prevention, plus it’s your chance to increase the impact of every dollar as your donation will be partially matched by the Greer Foundation.

We are so grateful to everyone who has or will give. Our runners, walkers, volunteers, and donors showed us amazing support and we know others will join them by the June 17th deadline. We want to especially thank this year’s sponsors – Escutcheon, Monahan Law Group, Perkins Coie, Alexander Movers, VMaids, A.S. Baum, and Moll Law Group – for giving our team the jump start they needed! 

CAASE also wants to uplift Strides for Peace for organizing the Race Against Gun Violence. They did a wonderful job bringing together anti-violence organizations from across Chicago and we were excited to be a part of the event. By participating, CAASE honored its commitment to meeting survivors where they are – as people embedded in communities with unique, important concerns and priorities. 

We’d also like to recognize our Race Team Committee members, Amy Kohn, Kaethe Morris Hoffer, Margot Gordon, Sarah Crocker, Emily Bergman, Michael Ovca, Cara Ward, and Xenia Chiu for their efforts in making make this a successful event!

Remember, you have until June 17th to support the Race for CAASE Team. Help them reach their goal now!
