Top vote in the category that CrossFit Brand X/CrossFit Kids HQ is competing in is currently 26518. Up from about 24679 yesterday.
CrossFit Brand X is a CrossFit Affiliate in Ramona California. It’s a small town, not affluent, not poor, but the district schools are as under-funded there as they are anywhere. Despite the fact that CrossFit Brand X is also the Headquarters of the CrossFit Kids program and where the program was developed and continues to be developed, most of the schools have little exposure to CrossFit. This grant would bring CrossFit Kids to one school in the Ramona area and allow the CrossFit Kids program to make an enormous difference to the lives of the kids at that school.
We have the ability to make that happen.
All you have to do is create a login to the Power a Brighter Future site and every day, go there and vote for CF Kids. If you’re in the US, also text “clorox3829” to 44144 and you’ve voted twice. Do that every day until December 9th. That’s it. That’s your extra credit WOD.
GD has helped thousands of people get started with CrossFit and this is important to him. If you have benefited from his advice or the scalings he’s priovided, here’s your chance to pay him back.
Please vote and spread the word.
We can do this.

So about 3000 people come here each day to get the free scaling we do every night. 24/7, 365 days a year. We rarely ask anything of our members or the people who come here. Right now we are asking you to vote so that CF Kids can get a grant to teach CrossFit to kids from 1st through 6th grade. It takes just a few seconds to text a vote. We could have 3000 votes a day, if you all took a few seconds to text a vote in. The highest vote right now after two days of voting is around 1000, we have 98. I’ll post a few reminders please help..

Rx’d is 155lbs for PC+Js. HSPUs were 5/10/5-5-5. PC+Js were all singles as i wanted to have good form for each lift, mixed in push and split jerks. But not having bumpers sucks!

I’m willing to help any way I can. I’m a bit concerned that simply posting the totals each day on the scaled WOD page seems to be showing a negative trend and that’s without plotting the data. Is there any further marketing, planning and attacking we can do to help improve Jeff’s vote totals at that web site?
