The August 2026 Peer-to-Peer roundup is here! This month we’re highlighting three organizations using GiveSignup to power meaningful fundraising events—from a scenic bike ride fueling cancer breakthroughs at Penn Medicine to a Philadelphia walk supporting LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and a virtual challenge protecting the rights of immigrant children. Plus, check out the latest Website V2 update: a brand new Top Donors component.
Breakthrough Challenge
Founded in 2013, the Breakthrough Challenge unites patients, researchers, families, and friends for a scenic and inspiring bike ride through Eastern Pennsylvania’s beautiful Oley Valley—all in support of breakthroughs in cancer research at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center. Back for another successful year on GiveSignup, their event page and fundraiser resources are a great example of how to set participants up for success from the moment they register.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Built an incredible event landing page using the Website Builder, creating a polished, mission-driven experience that captures the spirit of the event and the importance of the cause.
- Provided participants with a dedicated Fundraiser Tips page packed with actionable guidance to help fundraisers reach their goals.
- Created a comprehensive Team Captain FAQ to equip team leaders with everything they need to rally their teams and maximize fundraising impact.
Asylum Pride House Welcome Walk
Asylum Pride House was founded in 2022 with the mission to provide housing and essential initial resources to LGBTQ+ asylum seekers in Philadelphia, PA. Working closely with local and national organizations, they serve the LGBTQIA+ asylum-seeking community in one of the most welcoming cities in the country. Now in its third year, the Welcome Walk’s GiveSignup page keeps the fundraising message front and center while giving participants and team captains the resources they need to make a real difference.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Leveraged Website V2 to build a focused, fundraising-forward event page that keeps supporters connected to the mission throughout their experience.
- Created a thorough Fundraising FAQ page that addresses participant questions proactively, removing friction and keeping fundraisers confident and motivated.
- Built a detailed Team Captain Guide to empower team leaders with the tools and knowledge to recruit, motivate, and support their teams throughout the fundraising journey.
Waymakers Virtual Challenge
The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights protects and advances the rights and best interests of immigrant children in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and state and federal law. Their Waymakers Virtual Challenge gives supporters across the country a meaningful way to get moving and give back—and their GiveSignup page keeps participants connected to the mission every step of the way.
How They’re Using GiveSignup:
- Designed a clean, well-organized event page that effectively communicates the Young Center’s mission and creates an engaging experience for virtual participants.
- Set a powerful mission-tied fundraising goal of $198 for all participants—a number that represents the average length of stay (in days) an unaccompanied or separated child spends in federal detention, a figure that continues to rise. By asking every fundraiser to raise $198 alongside their family and friends, the Young Center connects each participant’s effort directly to the reality facing the hundreds of children awaiting reunification—making the fundraising goal feel personal, urgent, and deeply meaningful.
New Feature: Top Donors Component for Website V2
GiveSignup’s latest Website V2 update introduces a Top Donors component, giving events a powerful new way to recognize and celebrate their most generous supporters. Races, peer-to-peer fundraising events, and ticketed events with donations enabled can now feature their top donors directly on their event website—built and customized in the Website Builder just like any other component.
