The event is free to the community and has become so beloved that it now draws a crowd of 4,000 or more each year. Each year, sponsors and community leaders become jockeys of swan-shaped paddle boats and compete in a race across Lake Mirror in downtown Lakeland, FL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one month, each of the 10 two-member teams creates unique and fun ways to meet their fundraising goals. LVIM supports the teams by giving them full creative control to run their own micro-events, which encourages great community involvement and expands LVIM\u2019s donor base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#f06133\">WHY THEY LOVE QGIV<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LVIM has been using Qgiv since before peer-to-peer events were even an option! They particularly enjoy the help they receive from the Customer Experience Team and the fact that their suggestions for platform improvement are taken seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCustomer support has always been great\u2026 no one laughs at you when you have a question. You guys are always solution-oriented. I\u2019ve asked a lot of questions and requested things that don\u2019t exist, and over time they come into existence because they\u2019re client needs.\u201d -Alice Koehler, CEO<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peer-to-Peer Event Spotlight: The Lakeland Derby, hosted by Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15568,"template":"","meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 -
