Thursday, November 27, 2008 10:35 AM

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

ThanksUSA Hunt 4!
Thursday, November 27, 2008 12:57 AM

 The ESA Foundation and ThanksUSA will unveil Treasure Hunt Four, a free trivia and puzzle game about American history, culture and values, on Thanksgiving morning, the organizations announced today. The Treasure Huntseries, now in its fourth year, serves to generate donations to ThanksUSA's annual scholarship fund to benefit the children and spouses of activeduty military personnel.
The ESA Foundation, the charitable arm of the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), will sponsor Treasure Hunt Four as part of a new three-year partnership with ThanksUSA that aims to increase the number of scholarships available to these families. "This is a remarkable opportunity to express our gratitude to America's servicemen and women and their families for their courageous sacrifices," said Michael D. Gallagher, president and CEO of the ESA. "We
look forward to working with ThanksUSA to expand the opportunities for military families to pursue their dreams of higher education."
Treasure Hunt Four, which features more than 300 questions on a variety of states plus branches of the U.S. armed forces, will officially launch at 12 a.m. on November 27, 2008, Thanksgiving morning. Once the game ends on August 15, 2009, ThanksUSA will award prizes, including laptops and gift certificates, to the winner of each game "chapter." Contestants may access the game at www.ThanksUSA.org. "We are delighted to have the video game industry's support in this important endeavor," said ThanksUSA
Executive Director Michele Stork. "The ESA Foundation's contributions to our scholarship fund demonstrate the industry's commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of people across America."
ThanksUSA is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing need-based, post-secondary educational opportunities to the children and spouses of active-duty military personnel. Founded in 2005 by McLean, Va., sisters Rachel and Kelsi Okun, ThanksUSA has awarded approximately $5 million in scholarships to more than 1,750 families across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The ESA Foundation was created by the American interactive entertainment software industry to support and provide opportunities that can make a difference in the lives of America's youth. The Foundation is fully supported by proceeds from its limited edition charity game pack's sales and its annual fundraiser, "A Nite to Unite – for Kids," which together have raised more than $11 million in the last 10 years.
