What is the Fundraising Commitment?
By becoming a member of Team LUNGvity, you commit to donate or raise
funds of at least $500 if registered during open registration and $1,000 if using a post-close spot, for LUNGevity; a
designated Charity Partner of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon 2013. Your credit card
information is required as a guarantee against this pledge.
Your
total commitment of $500/$1,000 is due in two installments. The
first half is due by September 13, 2013. If $250/$500 is not met by the close of
business on September 13, your credit card will be charged for the amount of
$250/$500, less any payments received from your donors by that date. The
second deadline is October 21, 2013. If
your donations do not total the full minimum pledge your credit card
will be charged on October 21, 2013 for the amount necessary to fulfill that
pledge. (Any amount charged to your credit card will be considered a charitable
donation and we will send you confirmation of this donation for tax
purposes).
If you are unable to participate in the marathon due
to illness, injury or conflict, you are obligated to raise at least half
of the required $500/$1000 as set forth in this agreement. Please note that
donations will not be refundable if the Fundraiser does not participate
in the marathon.
