Thank you for interest in Team Harlem United for the ING NYC Marathon 2013.
Please fill out the application below. Spaces are limited and applicants will be considered on a first come first served basis. E-mail your application to rcutler@harlemunited.org. We will review all applications and notify recipients of spots immediately.
Please note that the guaranteed entry supplied by Harlem United is only the reserved entry. Runners are responsible for the entry fee paid to New York Road Runners.
We seek team members who are dedicated in the quest to raise maximum funds to help save lives. Please read the following sections carefully before signing below.
By becoming a member of Team Harlem United, you commit to donate or raise funds of at least $3000.00 for the benefit of Harlem United and its community. Your credit card information is required as a guarantee against this commitment. If you have not submitted at least one-half of the minimum committed amount ($500) by October 9, 2013, your credit card will be charged for at least one-half of the minimum committed amount, less any payments received from your donors to date. If an initial credit card charge plus any payments from your donors (including matching corporate gifts) do not total the full minimum commitment ($3000.00), your credit card will be charged on November 1, 2013 for the amount necessary to fulfill that commitment.
You understand that your guaranteed entry and participation in the ING NYC Marathon 2013 is contingent upon this commitment schedule and you accept that if due dates are not met you will be personally responsible for the fundraising minimum. The amount ultimately charged to your credit card will be considered a charitable donation and will send you confirmation of this donation for tax purposes.
Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your participation with Team Harlem United for the ING NYC Marathon 2013, waiving your responsibility of any remaining balance due at any time prior to receipt of your NY Road Runners entry validation number. To do so you must contact Rachel Cutler at Harlem United, in writing, on or before the receipt date of the validation. All money received after that point is nonrefundable as is any donation raised and received by our office. After registration with the ING NYC Marathon 2013, you are responsible for raising your minimum committed amount ($3000.00), even if you are unable to run the half marathon for anyreason, including injury.
Matching Gift Policy: Many companies match employees' charitable contributions. Please check with your employer to see if your company has this program, and ask your donors if their employers match gifts. Many companies issue matching gift checks quarterly or semi-annually. If you plan to use matching gift(s) to reach your minimum, it is your responsibility to submit the matching gift form to Harlem United by November 1, 2013.
Thank you for joining TEAM Harlem United. By running in the half marathon, every step you take will help us make a difference in New York City.
