Fundraiser avatars, hero images, other peer-to-peer enhancements - and more

As noted in our earlier update, we're committing additional engineering resources to empowering organizations using our peer-to-peer fundraising tools to better equip you to raise money for your mission in this challenging time. That commitment has continued over the last several weeks as we've added key functionality to the peer-to-peer experience while enhancing the Events app as well.

Below are the app-by-app details.
