MINIMUMS & COMMITMENTS

MINIMUMS 

Each rider at Fenway Park has a $400 fundraising minimum commitment per session. Virtual riders have no fundraising minimum or registration fee.

100 percent of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

COMMITMENTs

Fundraising Agreement and Cancellation Policy

As a participant in the PMC Winter Cycle, in addition to paying the $50.00 registration fee, I agree to collect the $400.00 fundraising minimum (the “Minimum”) for the benefit of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

I agree to be personally responsible to PMC for the shortfall if I fail to collect the entire Minimum amount by the April 1 deadline; I understand that the outstanding balance toward the Minimum will be charged to my credit card if I have not met the fundraising requirement by the April 1 deadline.

I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SEPARATE $50.00 REGISTRATION FEE IS NOT REFUNDABLE AND DOES NOT APPLY TOWARD THE MINIMUM; AND I UNDERSTAND THAT NEITHER MY REGISTRATION, NOR MY REGISTRATION FEE CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER RIDER IF I CHOOSE NOT TO, OR AM UNABLE TO RIDE.

Cancellation Policy
I acknowledge and agree that by registering for the PMC Winter Cycle, I am obliged to raise the fundraising minimum whether or not I participate in the event and whether or not the PMC is able to stage the event. The minimum is due by April 1, 2025. If I have not submitted the appropriate minimum by April 1, 2025, the outstanding balance towards the Minimum fundraising requirement will be charged to my credit card.

PARTICIPANT RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
In consideration for my [and/or my child(ren) or ward(s)], being permitted to participate in, work at, volunteer at, and/or observe the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, Inc. (“PMC”) Winter Cycle and related events and utilize the services and facilities associated with those events, I, on behalf of myself [and my child(ren), ward(s)] and any personal representatives, heirs, and next of kin (together, "the Undersigned") hereby state as follows:

Generally

1. I acknowledge and agree that the risk of injury, damage or property loss from participation in the PMC Winter Cycle and related events as a rider, worker, volunteer or observer is significant, including the potential for permanent physical harm to me, including death, and/or property damage or loss, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce those risks, the risk of serious injury does exist, as does the risk of property damage or loss;

2. I acknowledge and understand that photographs and/or videos may be taken of me [and/or my child(ren) or ward(s)] in connection with the Winter Cycle and related events, and hereby consent to the taking of such photographs and videos and the publication of such photographs and videos; and

3. I agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation in Winter Cycle and related events, including that, if I observe an unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I agree to bring the hazard to the attention of the nearest official immediately and, as appropriate, remove myself from participation.

Covid-19 Related

[On behalf of myself and my child(ren) and ward(s),] I hereby further:

4. agree, represent, and warrant that I will not [and my child(ren) or ward(s) will not] participate, in person, in services or programs related to PMC or the Winter Cycle or visit the facilities associated with the Winter Cycle if I [or they] (i) experience symptoms of COVID-19, including, without limitation, fever, cough, loss of sense of taste or smell, or shortness of breath, or (ii) have a suspected or diagnosed/confirmed case of COVID-19, or, (iii) within the preceding 14 days, (a) have been exposed to any person who has a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19, (b) have returned from highly impacted areas subject to a Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) Level 3 Travel Health Notice, or (c) have been exposed to any person returning from areas subject to a CDC Level 3 Travel Health Notice;

5. acknowledge that, although PMC has taken certain steps to reduce or mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 in connection with the operation of the Winter Cycle and related events, services and facilities, due to the nature of COVID-19 and the nature of the events, services and facilities: (i) transmission of the virus cannot be ruled out, (ii) social distancing of 6 feet per person among participants or others is not always possible, and (iii), despite PMC’s reasonable efforts to mitigate such dangers, PMC cannot guarantee that my [or my child(ren)’s or ward(s)’] participation in the Winter Cycle and/or related events, services and facilities will not result in exposure to COVID-19, which could in turn result in quarantine requirements, serious illness, disability, and/or death.

Reimagined or Virtual Ride, and Training

Because of public health concerns associated with COVID-19, or other public considerations, I understand that my [and/or my child(ren)’s or ward(s)’] participation in the Winter Cycle and/or related events may have to be “reimagined” or “virtual,” rather than conducted in the standard or in-person manner. In addition, I may choose, for my own reasons, to participate [and/or have my child(ren) or ward(s) participate] in the events in a reimagined or virtual way. If I [and/or my child(ren) or ward(s)] choose to participate in Winter Cycle and/or related events in a reimagined or virtual way, and during my [and/or my child(ren)’s or ward(s)’] training for the events (whether I participate in the actual events or in a reimagined or virtual manner, I [, on behalf of myself and my child(ren) and ward(s)], further:
