recruiting more Trees

All of the charities are very worthy, but that doesn't mean I don't want the Trees to win for Golisano Children's Hospital every week. Week 7 has a bigger pot of money for the winning faction's charity, and you better believe the other factions will be building up to take over the lead by then.

While we can all work harder to move higher on the leaderboard, I think the key to continue winning as a faction is building our numbers. Think about what friends and family you can recruit into the game. Who likes puzzles? Who likes (free!) online games? Who likes to compete against you? Someone a real crossword geek? If they're out of town, take a picture and email it first thing on Sunday. Remind your teammates to get their puzzles done by 8 p.m. the day they're released.

I'll be posting another story about Golisano Children's Hospital's Miracle Kids on the forum this week, but feel free to send links of our other kids' stories to inspire your friends and family: http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/childrens-hospital/giving/miracles/miracle...

If these amazing children and their families don't inspire you, nothing will.
