Thursday, April 18 is National High Five Day-yup that’s today! . Might sound trivial but this fun digit contact (meaning hands not online) or gesture means more than most think.
The most obvious sign of cooperation is a high five or fist bump.
“They have a lot to say about the cooperative workings of a team and whether that team wins or loses (University of California, Berkeley study).”
In recognition of this day of celebrating team camaraderie, LifeKraze, the social network with a mission to inspire happy and healthy lives, is leading the way in its biggest team mission yet – to surpass 1 Million High Fives online (much like LIKES on Facebook). LifeKraze currently has 975,000 High Fives and when they hit the 1 million mark, a charitable donation will be given to DonorsChoose, a non-profit organization that funds elementary school classroom projects.
In addition to breaking 1 Million, LifeKraze broke a couple of High Five world records.
· The Longest High Five: LifeKraze founder, Ben Wagner ran 6 miles to deliver the longest high five to a single person.
· Most High Fives in One Minute: Jonathan Yagel beat the current record of 107 in 60 seconds by accomplishing an amazing 257 high fives.
Make a contribution to the NH5D Rally, supporting victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.

I did not know about the day but already done it with my neighbor. I did join Lifecraze and like it, but I have to carve out time to use it..right after I carve out time for G+…It is a fun format, though..uplifting for all participants.
