Matching Gifts are not pledges but is a gift that matches the sum amount that the racer has paid for entry. The "Matching Gift" forms from corporations require us to verify that we have received a gift. If we refund that amount to a racer, we have not received a gift. Our accountant has advised us that we cannot verify a gift and then return the money. A corporation can pledge an amount and that we can return to the racer.
