I understand that the Foundation Activities will involve rigorous and related physical exercise and activities, and that I am participating in the Foundation Activities to benefit the Foundation. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Waiver and Release, I understand that my participation in the Foundation Activities is purely and completely voluntary, and that at no time will I be required to act, or refrain from acting, by the Foundation or by any of its organizers or representatives.
I understand that the Foundation Activities will be conducted at various times and locations as scheduled from time to time by the Foundation and its organizers or representatives, and I understand that any and all or Foundation Activities in which I participate, whether physically with the Foundation or any of its members, or on my own or with others at the suggestion, recommendation, or advice of the Foundation, are included within the Foundation Activities subject to this Waiver and Release.
By accepting this Waiver and Release, I acknowledge that the Released Parties shall not be, and shall never be, legally responsible for my personal health, pain, discomfort, or injury of any kind, including without limitation any disability or death, that I may suffer which may arise from or relate to my participation in Foundation Activities, or any damage or loss to any of my property (“Damages”). I hereby release, hold harmless, and forever discharge the Released Parties from any and all Damages incurred by me, any member of my family, my heirs or assigns, or my property arising from or related to the Foundation Activities described herein.

COVID19 Notification:
The Novel Coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.
My Best Friends Foundation (the Foundation) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the Foundation cannot guarantee that you or your families will not become infected with COVID-19 while attending any Foundation event. Further, attending group events could increase your risk and your family’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
By signing this waiver, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending events at the Foundation, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Foundation may result from the action, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, the Foundation employees, volunteers, and event participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury, damage, or sickness, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I may experience or incur in connection with my attendance at a Foundation event. On my behalf, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Released Parties, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kinds arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Release Parties, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any event or activity.
