Most people spend a significant amount of time each day using mobile-device keyboards: composing emails, texting, engaging in social media, and more.

Today, we are giving people another way to mobilize around causes they care about by expanding personal fundraisers to everyone over 18 in the US and by adding two new categories – community and sports.
