How do I qualify for the “All In Membership Assistance”?
The “All In Membership Assistance Fund” was designed during the pandemic as an aid to those who were most affected financially during an extraordinary time in our history. Now, as then, it relies on the honor system. Indy Runners and Walkers is a non-profit organization, and we want to continue to offer this support to people in need as a way to keep them connected with healthy movement, the club, and the community during challenging times.
We are certainly aware that it is possible to “game the system” and use this membership type solely as a way to obtain the club discount on some of our races and events. But we ask that you use the honor system in choosing this type of club membership based upon your personal situation. No questions asked, and names of those utilizing the fund will be held in strict confidence by the club leadership.
What benefits and perks are given to club members?
