RELEASE OF LIABILITY & ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Participation in the 2026 Community Cleanup is voluntary and involves outdoor activities including, but not limited to, walking, lifting, bending, handling tools, working near streets and traffic, and removing debris.
I understand that participation involves inherent risks, including personal injury, illness (including exposure to communicable diseases), property damage, and risks associated with weather conditions, terrain, tools, traffic, conditions of public streets, sidewalks, and surrounding areas, and other participants.
I knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks, whether known or unknown, including those arising from the negligence of the Community Cleanup, West Grand Neighborhood Organization, affiliated neighborhood associations, sponsors, partners, volunteers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively referred to as the “Event Organizers”).
To the fullest extent permitted by Michigan law, I release and hold harmless the Event Organizers from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or causes of action arising out of or related to my participation in this event.
This release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Michigan. If any portion of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
