The October 2026 Peer-to-Peer roundup is here! This month we’re highlighting three Turkey Trot-season events using GiveSignup to raise money for causes that matter—from a community food bank in Washington to a 30-year YMCA Thanksgiving tradition with multiple locations and LA’s largest Thanksgiving 5K/10K. Plus, check out an upcoming webinar on building out a fundraiser campaign.
Issaquah Turkey Trot 2026
The Issaquah Turkey Trot is hosted by and benefits the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank, a local organization whose mission is to unite its community in nourishing and nurturing individuals by removing barriers to healthy food, vital resources, and connections to essential services. Their GiveSignup page is a great example of how to use Website V2 to lead with mission and make fundraising feel like a natural next step for every participant.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Took great advantage of Website V2 to build an event page that puts their mission and fundraising prizes front and center, giving participants every reason to go beyond just registering.
- Created clear, compelling donation messaging that invites people to donate while explaining exactly how fundraising works—making it easy for supporters to understand their impact before they give.
Y Turkey Trot Charity 5K
For more than 30 years, families across the region have gathered Thanksgiving morning to run, walk, or stroll the annual Y Turkey Trot Charity 5K—an opportunity for exercise, community, and a fundraiser for a good cause. With multiple locations and a well-built resource hub, this event makes it easy for participants across the region to get involved and fundraise effectively.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Organized a multi-location event on a single GiveSignup page, giving participants across the region a seamless registration and fundraising experience.
- Provided participants with robust fundraiser resources to help them hit the ground running from the moment they sign up.
- Beautifully highlighted their fundraising incentives in a way that motivates participants to push toward higher fundraising goals.
Drumstick Dash LA
Drumstick Dash LA is Los Angeles’ largest Thanksgiving 5K/10K—whether you’re chasing a PR or strolling with the whole family in costume, it’s the ultimate way to kick off the holiday. And beyond the fun, it’s a serious fundraiser. Their GiveSignup page uses Website V2 to its fullest, combining eye-catching design with the tools that drive real fundraising results.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Leveraged Website V2 to build a visually dynamic event page that highlights their mission and makes a strong case for fundraising from the moment visitors arrive.
- Featured a donation goal thermometer and fundraiser leaderboard prominently on their page, keeping momentum visible and giving participants a clear picture of how close the event is to its goal.
- Used an video banner to bring the energy and excitement of the event to life right on the homepage—capturing the fun, high-energy atmosphere that makes Drumstick Dash LA stand out.
