ThanksUSA Treasure Hunt

ThanksUSA is a non-profit organization that has set up scholarships as a  way to say "thanks" to our troops.  According to the site, creators Rachel (age 10) and Kelsi (age 8):

 

"wanted to find a way for the country to say thanks to all the brave men and women in our armed forces and especially to help their families. Since both of us like treasure hunts, we had this 'brain blast' to create a national treasure hunt focused on American history with lots of cool prizes for kids and grown-ups too. By joining our hunt, you have the chance to win something fabulous, learn more about America's history and make a lasting difference in the lives of our troops and their families."

 

How can you participate?

First, you need to register and that will take only a minute or two. Next, you can either access all of the clues with just one click or pick and choose among the twelve stages to work in any order you like.

 

How does the treasure hunt help fund scholarships?

They are hoping that those participating in the treasure hunt will give a donation or host fundraising parties, although this is NOT a requirement.

 

I've already downloaded my clue book and it looks like it is not only educational (which I expected), but fun!  What a great way to learn U.S. history, have fun, help a cause, and have a chance to win prizes. 

 

Oh, I hadn't mentioned prizes?  Go here for a list of prizes you can win.  Then sign up and may the best person win.
