Online Waiver

I understand that participation in cleanup activities (Cleanup) with Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS) is entirely voluntary. I understand that AWS volunteer events might involve light physical exertion—such as bending, lifting, and digging—and voluntary or involuntary contact with harmful plants and animals. I know and understand the risks involved in the above-named activities, and I know and understand that unanticipated dangers might arise. I hereby release AWS from any responsibility for injury which might occur as a result of my participation in the Cleanup. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless AWS for any damage or injury to me or my property as a result of my participation in the Cleanup.

By signing below, I give permission for me/my child to participate in the Cleanup. I also give permission to authorize personnel to carry out such emergency diagnostic and therapeutic procedures as may be necessary for me or my child, and also permit such treatment procedures to be carried out by the local hospital(s) for me or my child in the event of any emergency.

I further agree that my/my child’s photo, image or likeness may be used for future AWS projects, such as a video, documentary or print publication, and I hold said entities harmless in the use of my/my child’s photo or image.

I also give my permission for AWS or their respective representatives to send me messages about programs and activities sponsored by the organization and/or its partners at the e-mail address supplied below. I understand that AWS will never sell, or rent my email information without my advanced consent. I also understand that I will always have the option to stop receiving e-mail messages from AWS at any time and under any circumstances.
