In consideration of being allowed to participate in the Friends of the Big Sioux River cleanup event, and its related events and activities, I acknowledge and agree that:
There exist numerous risks from the cleanup activities, including the potential for drowning, serious injury or sickness, and while equipment and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does still exist; and

I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest official immediately; and
I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representative and next of kin, AGREE NOT TO SUE AND INSTEAD HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS the organizers and all those associated with the Friends of the Big Sioux River river cleanup, and its officers, directors, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and leasers of premises used to conduct the event ("Releasees"), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, OR loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE.
In addition, I give permission for Friends of the Big Sioux River to use my name and any photographs or videos taken of me in connection with the cleanup event for publicity purposes.
