What is the $250 Required Pledge Minimum Policy?
All riders (team captains, team members and individual riders) are required to raise a minimum of $250 in donations in addition to the registration fee regardless of attendance at the Bike MS Ride. Registered riders will not be held responsible for the $250 required pledge minimum only if the Greater Washington Chapter has been notified of your withdrawal in writing by August 31, 2009. This required pledge minimum of $250 must be paid by the October 20, 2009 pledge deadline. Any participant with an unpaid balance up to $250 after the pledge deadline will receive an invoice for the remaining balance to submit payment and fulfill the requirement. Participation in the Bike MS Ride is at the discretion of the Greater Washington Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Registration fees are non-refundable, non-transferable and not applicable to the required pledge minimum amount of $250. Riders must be at least 12 years old to participate.
