Strides for Peace

Every year BUILD participates in Strides for Peace, a community-based “Fun Run” that brings together dozens of partners and community organizations dedicated to fighting gun violence. With races and walks for every fitness level, it’s easy to set up your own fundraising page and ask for support from friends and family to benefit BUILD. Record a ‘Why I Run” video and join the Strides community! Or, sponsor some of the BUILD youth running in the event. This year’s race is virtual, until November 15, 2021.
