  <li>Transport to the event (chargeable) (Yes or No)</li>

  PCP (or Personal Campaign Pages) is the tool you are looking for. You can investigate this a bit more by going to a demo site eg and looking at one of the Contribution Pages eg <https://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/contribute/pcp?reset=1&action=update&id=1> which is the tab where you set up the PCPs and then at
  
  <https://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/campaign?action=add&reset=1&pageId=1&component=contribute> where you can create your PCP eg [https://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/pcp/info?reset=1&id=2≈=0](https://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/pcp/info?reset=1&id=2&ap=0) (which will disappear within 24 hours when the site gets reset)
  
  it currently shows the widget for my $500 goal.
  
  Donating for multiple folk in one go can't be done via this approach. Only way I could think would be using PriceSets on Events but that has no way of letting each fundraiser see how they are going.
