“My family has been playing the ThanksUSA Treasure Hunt since it started in 2006 when I saw it on the Today Show. That first year my daughter and her family won a trip to Disney World. We love puzzles and work together to find the answers. It is a fun way to learn about our country. This year’s topic, The Bill of Rights, is especially intriguing. Thanks again.” 
-- Pat Baldwin

“Wow - biggest prize I've ever won! Thanks for your efforts and dedication to our Veterans and their families. Thanks for providing a great game - fun to play and we learn along the way!  I started playing the first day you started, hoping to win a prize. My family soon got interested, and now all these years later we play to race against each other to complete each chapter first. The prize is family bragging rights. This win may top that!! Thanks again.” -- Mary Pergande

"I have played the ThanksUSA Treasure Hunt game since it first began & have enjoyed learning so much about our country during each Hunt. I am so happy & proud to receive a prize from an honorable organization such as ThanksUSA. I can't think of anyone more deserving of scholarships than our Armed Forces family members. I ask anyone, who can afford to do so, to please donate to this organization to help keep it running for many years to come."

“Again, I would like to thank you for selecting me as a ThanksUSA Treasure Hunt winner for the fourth chapter. I have enjoyed playing this game and learning about our American history. I will be starting my second year of law school this fall and this $250 Wal-Mart card will be a tremendous help paying for my groceries.” -- Cody Fink


“Thank you! We're excited to win and to support ThanksUSA. This is our 2nd year participating in the Treasure Hunt and I'm excited to have finally won one of the chapters. I like doing the research to exercise my brain and to learn new things. I am the daughter of a WW II veteran (deceased) and I appreciate our military for what they do.” -- Beth Edwards

"This is my third year playing the ThanksUSA Treasure Hunt and my second time winning (I actually won on the same chapter last year.) Playing is always a fun and rewarding experience. I get to learn a lot of new things that I didn't know before. Not only is it rewarding learning things, but also knowing I am supporting military members and their families while playing. I cannot wait to play next year!"
