All Raise Chicago: 2.1 Run: Funding Equality for Women
Join us for a transformative event that combines fitness and advocacy, as we take strides towards highlighting an alarming statistic. Introducing the "2.1 Run: Funding Equality for Women" walk/run. This walk/run highlights the gender disparity that persists in the venture capital world, where women-led businesses receive a mere 2.1% of total funding. Lace up your running shoes and join us as we make a powerful statement while exploring the vibrant streets of downtown Chicago.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or a casual walker, this event welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and fitness levels. Join us in breaking down barriers, celebrating women's achievements, and amplifying their voices.
DETAILS:
Meet in front of the Merchandise Mart (between the River and the Mart entrance) at 8am. Please check in with All Raise Steering Committee members Lindsay Knight or Jasmine Shells, and grab your t-shirt. (The first 50 people to show up at the event will receive a complimentary technical tee!)
We will walk to the river walk as a group at precisely 8:10 and begin our run there. Route will be sent by email in case you show up late.
If you'd like a place to shower and then co-work after the run, Life Time Fitness in River North is offering us complimentary day passes! Please email lindsay@chicagoventures.com if you'd like to take advantage of this offer.
