A Note From Our Gala Co-Chairs
​
Thank you for your interest in ThanksUSA’s Military Family Gala! We hope that you are able to join us for an evening that is guaranteed to inspire, entertain and captivate. Throughout the night, guests will engage with military and civilian speakers and entertainers, joining together in support of military families’ educational and career goals.

ThanksUSA has been thanking members of our troops for well over a decade by providing scholarships for their spouses and kids. In doing so, we aim to strengthen military families — by increasing the earning potential for a military spouse who may be un/underemployed or helping a military child attend the school of their dreams in order to one day give back in service to their community.

We see families as the backbone of military strength and a true representation of sacrifice. On October 26, with your help, we will show our appreciation for the families of our troops and celebrate their allegiance, spirit of service, and heroism at home. 


Hon. B. Robert Okun, Chairman of ThanksUSA, Founder and CEO of The O Team
Mr. Andrew Don, Senior Vice President & CFO of National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation
