I understand that I will be volunteering for the Event at my own risk and I agree to assume all the risks incidental to volunteering in the Event including, without limitation, (a) THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO COMMUNICABLE DISEASE(S), INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COVID-19, WHICH INHERENTLY EXISTS IN ANY PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE PRESENT, INCLUDING BEFORE, DURING, AND/OR AFTER THE EVENT AND ACTIVITIES and (b) the risk that my mental, physical or emotional condition (including any use or abuse of alcohol or prescription or non-prescription drugs), whether disclosed or undisclosed, known or unknown, combined with assisting with these activities could result in injury, damage, death or other loss.
