Furthermore, if any donations for the event are being utilized to offset expenses, then checks, credit cards, or money orders MUST be payable to the Event Organizing Group and will not be considered tax-deductible unless the Event Organizing Group is a non-profit 501(c)3.

5. The CSF, its directors, employees and legal representatives shall be indemnified and held harmless from all claims, loss, damage, injury, liability, costs and expenses of whatsoever kind or nature caused by, arising out of, or occurring in connection with, any act or omission to act by the Event Organizing Group in connection with the described event.
