The March 2026 Peer-to-Peer roundup is here! This month we’re highlighting three organizations using GiveSignup to power events that are as inspiring as the causes behind them—from a milestone-making inaugural 5K supporting 150 years of compassionate healthcare to a challenge raising millions for cutting-edge cancer research and a Pride 5K helping Colorado’s LGBTQ+ community access free, essential services year-round.
Mercy Race for the Future
Mercy Health Services is launching its inaugural Race for the Future — a 5K and 1-mile walk created to fuel the Mercy Forever 150th Anniversary Campaign and the We Are 150 employee engagement initiative. The Mercy Forever campaign celebrates 150 years of compassionate care while investing in the next generation of healing services for its community. It’s a powerful first event, and they’ve set themselves up for success with a strong fundraiser-focused online presence right out of the gate.

The Badger Challenge
The Badger Challenge is on a mission to direct 100% of all participant-raised dollars to the most promising University of Wisconsin cancer initiatives — both in the laboratory and in the clinic.

Denver Pride 5K

This event serves as a crucial fundraiser, enabling The Center to provide free essential services, programs, and activities to LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies year-round.
