This year's beneficiaries

Proud to Run donates 100% of proceeds from each year’s race to Chicago-area non-profit organizations who work to make the LGBTQ+ healthier, safer, and stronger.

​

Proud to Run has raised $700,000 for its beneficiaries in the past 40 years.

​

This year we have selected two organizations as our beneficiaries from donations like yours. Find out a little bit more about the Youth Empowerment Performance Project (YEPP) below, our second beneficiary will be named soon!

YEPP strives to create a brave environment for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI+) youth experiencing homelessness to explore their history, investigate new ways to address their struggles and to celebrate their strengths through personal, leadership and community development programming that incorporate different art-expression forms.
