Proud To Run, which comprises Chicago’s Pride Weekend 5 and 10K runs, is accepting applications from organizations wishing to be considered as beneficiaries for next year.

Proud To Run’s board of directors will consider applications from organizations that serve the Chicago-area LGBT community; clearly define the need or have a project with a specific timeline and budget; are community-based and -driven; and are grassroots in nature or do not receive a large part of their budget from state or federal grants.

See www.proudtorun.org. The deadline to submit an application is Nov. 30.
