Terms and conditions

Text messages from USARC

The United States Adaptive Recreation Center (USARC) sends text messages to participants, their families and caregivers, and our volunteers and adaptive instructors who ask to receive them. These terms apply to every text you get from USARC.

What we send

Lesson reminders, registration and payment steps, training and volunteer days, schedule changes, program announcements, and replies to your questions. We do not send texts on behalf of anyone else.

How you join

You join by giving us your mobile number and checking the texting box on a USARC form at usarc.org. The box starts unchecked. Checking it is never required to register, volunteer, or take part in a USARC program.

How often

Message frequency varies with your activity with us, and is usually highest in the days around a lesson or volunteer day.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan. USARC does not charge for its texts.

How to stop

Reply STOP to any message. You will get one text confirming that you are unsubscribed, and no more after that. Reply START to join again. You can also ask us to stop by phone or email.
