Peer-to-peer Campaign
These are multi-level campaigns with a parent and children. Registered site users can create their own child campaigns that inherit the end date from the parent.
Parent Campaign

Child Campaign
Child campaigns have a parent campaign and are made by registered site users other than the site owner. Child campaigns can be part of teams and typically have significantly smaller goals than the parent campaign they belong to.

Campaign Update
Campaign Updates are information for each campaign. Campaigns will show updates on their pages.
