PurpleStride transformation
Moving All P2P Walk Events to One Day

We had the pleasure of sitting down with peer-to-peer fundraising rockstar, Kevin Sims, VP of Volunteer Field Relations & Engagement at Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) and are thrilled to bring you a 4-minute recap of our conversation, where Kevin sheds light on the amazing transformation of their PurpleStride event program.

Kevin dives into the bold decision to transition PurpleStride from a scattered sequence of walks, spread across the calendar year, to a unified, one-day event taking place concurrently in 60+ cities. This huge shift, which entailed realigning a multifaceted array of walks with teams and websites already in motion, serves as a great example of ‘going big, or going home’ in the P2P fundraising space. 🔥

Despite encountering a series of challenges, Kevin shares how PanCAN managed to rise above them all, culminating in their highest-ever ranking on the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum Top 30 – a remarkable #25!
