The July 2026 Peer-to-Peer roundup is here! This month we’re highlighting three organizations using GiveSignup to run impactful fundraising events—from one of Indiana’s oldest and largest cancer 5Ks to an Atlanta race supporting brain tumor patients and a Princeton fun run serving the autism community across every stage of life. Plus, we’re sharing a helpful resource for any race director organizing around a charitable mission.
Hoosiers Outrun Cancer
Hoosiers Outrun Cancer is one of the oldest and largest 5K run/walks in Indiana. Since 2000, HOC has raised over $5.3 million to support people impacted by cancer in south central Indiana—funds that helped launch Cancer Support Community South Central Indiana (CSCSCI) in Bloomington under the guidance of Bloomington Health Foundation. Their GiveSignup page is as impressive as their legacy, and they’ve added a creative personal touch that sets their event apart from the typical 5K experience.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Built a great-looking event website that showcases their mission and decades of community impact in a clear, engaging way.
- Put a unique and personal spin on participant engagement by inviting runners to share their “Why I Run” stories—and sweetening the deal by offering free registration to the first 50 people who do. It’s a simple but powerful way to build community, collect compelling stories, and drive early registrations all at once.
Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation Race for Research
The Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation works to improve the quality of life for brain tumor patients and their loved ones, offering hope through counseling, education, and support. Their Race for Research is a key fundraising vehicle for that mission—and their GiveSignup setup makes it easy for both fundraisers and sponsors to understand exactly how they can make a difference.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Created a robust and clearly organized sponsorship page that lays out sponsorship opportunities in a way that’s easy for potential partners to navigate and act on—lowering the barrier for businesses and individuals who want to get involved at a higher level.
- Did an excellent job communicating how fundraising works for their event, giving participants a clear picture of the impact their efforts will have and making the case for why fundraising matters beyond just showing up on race day.
Eden Autism 5K & Fun Run/Walk
Eden Autism’s mission is to support individuals with autism throughout their lifespan—from diagnosis through the school years and into adulthood—providing a comprehensive spectrum of services that enable individuals with autism to lead fulfilling, productive, and engaged lives in their communities. Their GiveSignup event page reflects that same thoughtfulness, pairing a great design with practical resources that help fundraisers hit the ground running.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Built a well-designed event page that clearly communicates Eden Autism’s mission and creates an inviting experience for participants and donors alike.
- Created an actionable fundraising tips page that gives participants concrete, easy-to-follow guidance for reaching their fundraising goals—turning well-intentioned registrants into effective fundraisers.
