“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

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."
