Legacy Run Peer-to-Peer Fundraising FAQs
FAQs
Peer-to-peer fundraising empowers individuals to raise money on behalf of a cause by creating personal fundraising pages and reaching out to their networks—friends, family, coworkers, and beyond. These pages serve as unique donation portals, allowing supporters to share their story, set fundraising goals, and track progress.
