I acknowledge the highly contagious nature of infectious disease, including but not limited to COVID-19, and the risk that I may be exposed to or contract COVID-19 by attending Young Adult Cancer Camp (YACC). I understand and acknowledge that such exposure or infection may result in serious illness, personal injury, psychological injury, pain, suffering, temporary or permanent disability, death and/or financial loss. I understand that Elephants and Tea and Young Adult Survivors United (YASU) cannot guarantee that I will not become infected with COVID-19 or any other infectious disease due to attending YACC, and that attending may increase the risk of contracting COVID-19 or any other infectious disease. I also acknowledge that this risk may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of others, including Elephants and Tea and YASU employees and volunteers. Notwithstanding these risks, I acknowledge that I am a voluntary participant of YACC, with full knowledge of the precautionary measures in place and the risks involved. I acknowledge that I derive personal satisfaction and a benefit by virtue of my participation and attendance at YACC 2024.

BASED ON THE FOREGOING, I hereby release, waive, and forever discharge any and all liability, claims and demands whatever kind or nature against Elephants and Tea and YASU, Camp Kon-o-Kwee Spencer, and any other third parties involved in the planning and execution of YACC 2024, including in each case, without limitation, their directors, officers, employees, volunteers and agents (the “released parties”), either in law or in equity, to the fullest extent permissible by law, including but not limited to damages or losses caused by the negligence, fault or conduct of any kind on the part of the released parties, including but not limited to serious illness, personal injury, psychological injury, pain, suffering, temporary or permanent disability, death and/or financial loss, which I, my heirs, assignees, next of kin and/or legally appointed or designated representatives, may have or which may hereinafter accrue on my behalf, which arise or may hereafter arise from my participation at YACC 2024.

This Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability (the “Release”) is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by law. If any part of the Release is held to be invalid or legally unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Release shall not be affected thereby and shall remain valid and fully enforceable.

I have been fully informed of the risks associated with in-person attendance and give my voluntary consent in agreeing to the Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability as my free act and deed, with full intention to be bound by the same, and free from any inducement or representation.
