The June 2026 Peer-to-Peer roundup is here! This month we’re spotlighting three organizations using GiveSignup to power events that are as diverse as the communities they serve—from a Pride 5K fueling free essential services for Colorado’s LGBTQ+ community to a cycling event rooted in food justice on the California coast and a community-powered challenge funding cancer research at the University of Wisconsin. Read on for a look at how each of these organizations is making the most of GiveSignup’s peer-to-peer fundraising tools.
Denver Pride 5K
The Denver Pride 5K is a crucial fundraiser for The Center on Colfax, enabling them to provide free essential services, programs, and activities to LGBTQ+ individuals and allies in Colorado year-round. Their GiveSignup event site is a standout example of how to put website design capabilities to work—delivering an experience that’s as bold and welcoming as the community it represents.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Took advantage of Website’s custom font options and extended banner to create a visually immersive event page that captures the energy and spirit of Pride.
- Used the FAQ component to proactively answer participant questions, making it easy for supporters to find what they need and get registered quickly.
Bike Hut Classic
All proceeds from the Bike Hut Classic benefit Abundant Grace Coastside Worker (AGCW) and their Full-Circle Food Justice program, which brings people experiencing homelessness to the farm every Monday and Thursday to plant, tend, and harvest more than 50 crops across 2 acres. The food is then distributed for free to low-income families in Half Moon Bay. It’s a deeply community-rooted mission—and their GiveSignup page makes sure that message comes through loud and clear at every turn.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Built their entire event page around the fundraising message, ensuring visitors understand the impact of their participation from the moment they arrive.
- Created a custom page dedicated Why Fundraise? page that lays out a compelling case for participants to go beyond registration and raise money for the cause.
- Featured their matching donor front and center on the page — a smart, high-visibility placement that creates urgency and encourages fundraisers to maximize their impact while the match is live.
Badger Challenge
The Badger Challenge is a community-powered event fueling cancer research and patient care at the University of Wisconsin. Since 2016, Badger Challenge has raised over $3.6 million for life-saving UW cancer initiatives in both the laboratory and clinic setting. Their GiveSignup setup is a great example of how smart messaging and the right platform features can lower the barrier to participation—and drive more fundraising dollars in the process.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Brilliantly leveraged GiveSignup’s fundraising refunds feature and branded it as “Participate for FREE” — a clever, accessible message that invites more people to join the event and fundraise their way in.
- Built out excellent fundraiser resources on the same page, giving participants everything they need to hit the ground running and reach their fundraising goals.
