It was organized by Ed Schipul. They organize supporters, raise attention to important social and political issues, seek donations, and organize supporters to walk, run, shout, protest, and vote, things that were once done mostly by nonprofit organizations.

But, if an organization simply cuts and pastes a social media policy without the internal culture change, it won't be effective. Not only about the potential concerns and how to respond, but how the organization or its internal culture can embrace social media. Who acts as a spokesperson on behalf of the organization.

If your nonprofit organization hosts a peer-to-peer event with thousands of happy participants and supporters, but you don’t have a plan to convert those bikers, gamers, walkers, golfers, dancers, scavenger hunters, or pub crawlers into monthly donors, you’re missing out on the point of putting on an awesome P2P event.
