Dear Treasure Hunter:

IT'S HERE! ThanksUSA's 2009 American History Treasure Hunt begins Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2008, and will run through August 15th of next year.

Go to ThanksUSA.org to PLAY TH4!

If you registered in the past, you do not need to register again. If you have forgotten your username or password, please refer to the Web site for instructions on how to request a reminder or to assign a new password.

The theme of this year's American history treasure hunt is "Treasure our Troops."

  • Players of all ages can test their knowledge of the history of America and of the nine "TH4" (that is "Treasure Hunt Four") states, plus the history of the Air Force, the Marine Corps, and also the history of ThanksUSA.
  • The entire game can be played online interactively.
  • Classrooms, youth groups and individuals have the chance to win great educational prizes like iPods, laptop computers, and gift certificates.

We hope you'll tell a friend so they can join in on the fun too!

We are proud to announce that The ESA Foundation, the charitable arm of the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), is sponsoring Treasure Hunt Four as part of a new three-year partnership with ThanksUSA that aims to increase the number of scholarships available to military families.

Help us Put the "Thanks" in Thanksgiving for our Military Families

Our goal in 2008 is to award 500 need-based scholarships to the spouses and children of active-duty service men and women. We are very close to reaching that target: We have awarded 400 scholarships worth $1.2 million. We hope to award another $300,000 in scholarships to an additional 100 military families in the next two months, but we need YOUR help. We have nearly 10,000 treasure hunt registrants. If each one of you gave $30.00, we could award the final 100 scholarships. This Thanksgiving weekend let's see if we can say THANKS to 100 military families in a very special way. Please donate today.

Sincerely,
The ThanksUSA Team
