By becoming a member of Team Central Park, you commit to donate or raise funds of at least $3,000 for the benefit of the Central Park Conservancy—a designated Charity Partner of the ING New York City Marathon 2008. Your credit card information is required as a guarantee against this pledge. If you have not submitted at least one-half of the minimum pledge of $1,500 by the close of business on August 15, 2008, your credit card will be charged for the amount of $1,500, less any payments received from your donors by that date. If an initial credit card charge plus any payments from your donors do not total the full minimum pledge of $3,000, your credit card will be charged on October 17, 2008 for the amount necessary to fulfill that pledge. You understand that you are required to meet this final commitment date in order to maintain your guaranteed entry into the Marathon. The amount ultimately charged to your credit card will be considered a charitable donation and we will send you confirmation of this donation for tax purposes.
Contributions made by check should clearly identify that they are supporting your pledge by noting your name and the event in the memo field. Checks should be made payable to the Central Park Conservancy.
If you decide to leave Team Central Park prior to the final pledge commitment date, you agree to be charged the following amounts (if not already contributed) based on your leaving the team by the following dates: on or before July 11, 2008, one-quarter of the Pledge ($750); from July 12 through August 8, 2008, one-half of the Pledge ($1,500); from August 9 through September 12, 2008, three-quarters of the Pledge ($2,250); and after September 13, 2008, the full Pledge ($3,000).
