THE SECRET OF CHIDON’S INCREDIBLE GROWTH IS YOU , THE CHILDREN, WHO KEEP ENCOURAGING MORE FRIENDS TO ENROLL AND JOIN. THE MORE PARTICIPANTS YOU GET TO ENROLL, THE MORE PRIZES YOU WILL EARN. How many friends will you recruit?

PLEASE NOTE: A NEW RECRUIT IS SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER ENROLLED FOR CHIDON IN ANY PREVIOUS YEAR. MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THEY ENROLL, THEY ENTER YOUR TZIVOS HASHEM SERIAL NUMBER (LOCATED ON YOUR ACCOUNT PROFILE PAGE) SO THAT YOU CAN BE REWARDED WITH YOUR WELL-DESERVED PRIZE! IF YOU RECRUITED FRIENDS IN THE PAST, THOSE RECRUITMENTS STILL COUNT! YOUR RECRUITMENT TOTAL WILL CONTINUE FROM THE NUMBER OF FRIENDS THAT YOU ARE UP TO (INCLUDING PAST RECRUITMENTS)!
