On Sunday, October 11th, our team of runners came together to challenge themselves running the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. The Run Domestic Violence Out of Town team raised over $177,000 during the course of the year to support survivors of gender-based violence and The Network. Seven of our runners went above and beyond, joining our 2620 Club by raising at least $2,620 instead of the $2,200 minimum!

We are so proud of everything our team accomplished this year, culminating in the marathon itself. Thank you for your dedication, your courage, and your commitment to survivors!

No student should have to choose between their education and their safety.

HB 4990 would strengthen protections for survivors of gender-based violence by increasing accountability for colleges and universities and expanding survivor-centered support.
