Recommitment FAQs

What does recommitment mean?

Recommitment:

1. is a promise to raise funds for our charity organization "Asha for Education"

2. is important because "Asha for Education" makes promises to support projects for children in India based on your promise

3. directly impacts the lives of hundreds and thousands of children who depend upon "Asha for Education" to make a difference in their lives

4. is a way of achieving your goals and appreciating the efforts of Team Asha program coords

In short, you choose the race you want to train for and you commit to raise funds for Asha for Education

What will I have to do?

The process is very simple.

1. Go through the online recommitment process.

What happens after I recommit ?

You will be able to form a team at the time of recommitment. You can continue the training for your target race. Based on your recommitment choices, your runnernet page will be updated with your fundraising target.

What happens if I do not recommit ?

If you fail to recommit by the recommitment deadline, you will no longer be part of the Team Asha program for the year. Coordinators will remove you from the group and notify you by email.

Why does Team Asha need my credit card information?

You will be required to raise funds for Asha for Education, and we are going to help you have a successful fundraising experience. However, in the case you don’t reach your target amount by the deadline, you will be asked to make up the difference with your own contribution, which will be charged to your credit card. We would of course notify you before making the charge.

Will my credit card information be safe?

Yes! Your credit card information will be stored securely on DocuSign server. Once your fundraising goals are met, the information will be purged.

I am unsure of my race now. Can I change it later?

Yes. Many athletes sign up for a smaller race at the beginning, and then decide to upgrade to a bigger race based on how the training is progressing. The fundraising target would be adjusted accordingly.
