2. Organizers of the event will be solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the Event.
   
   
3. Depending upon the exact nature of the Event, separate insurance may be required and/or Komen should be named as an additional insured on the other entity's insurance policy.
   
   
4. The third party must request permission to use Komen's name and/or logo, and completion of the third party Event Form constitutes such a request. All references to the Foundation in publicity and promotional materials, on tickets, invitations, etc. should say:

This includes, but is not limited to, invitations, press releases, newspaper or newsletter articles, etc.
   
   
7. The Komen Atlanta Affiliate is not able to handle any administrative aspects of a third-party event. While we are able to provide guidance for an event, we do not have the staff to manage administrative tasks like invitation distribution, compiling RSVP's, etc.
   
   
8. Third-parties must inform the Komen Greater Atlanta Affiliate of any effort to recruit financial underwriters/sponsors in order to ensure that there is no duplication of underwriting efforts.
