"A minimum fundraising commitment is required."
Let's be direct! How much? (I do plan on doing Boston someday, and I will probably need to get in on a charity slot because my times don't get me registration via other methods, but lay it out there what the ballpark figure is pls :-)

From their site (click the linky in their post)....
Invitational Entry runners do not have to meet the time requirements set by the BAA.

Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
jinx
I'm going to go the "additional consideration" route. See y'all in Boston!
I was afraid of that level. 500 I can do (Such as for JFK-50 to get a 2 hr earlier start), but 5,000 is out of my budget for one race. While I am huge on supporting a couple select charities personally, I am one of those folks unable to ask others for charity money in order for me to run a race.
Hope I am not being too gruff in saying that the OP could just post: #1 what the committment level needed is, and #2, not post three different duplicate posts of the same thing. Seems like they are not considering the forum when they post multiple posts here....
I was totally kidding. I am usually totally kidding.
