Dear USO Supporter,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are enjoying the holiday weekend with family and friends. I won't take up too much of your time today, but I did want to reach out because this is the toughest time of year for our troops, on top of what's been a year full of challenges. And with Giving Tuesday just a few days away, it's also a major moment to support them.

That's why I had to share this exciting opportunity with you right away: If we can raise $50,000 via emails and text messages by 11:59 p.m. Sunday night, it'll unlock a pre-Giving Tuesday match opportunity and help us get this important day off to the best possible start.

So please, as one of our most dedicated military supporters, will you rush a gift at this particularly important moment to support our heroes when they need it most? Every dollar gets us closer to unlocking a rare MATCH offer ahead of the biggest fundraising day of the year!

U.S. service members have already been there for us through so much this year, from supporting our allies in conflict zones to rescuing Americans affected by natural disasters. Through it all, they've stood loyal and strong, doing whatever it takes to keep us safe and free. Now, during the holidays — the toughest time of year for deployed service members — it's our turn to be there for them.

Yesterday, we provided home-cooked Thanksgiving meals at USO Centers across the world. Over the next month, we'll be delivering holiday cards and care packages, helping troops call their loved ones and doing our best to fill the season with joy. But the USO is a nonprofit organization, which means we need patriotic Americans like you, to step up for our troops.

Giving Tuesday is the most important day of the year for nonprofits like the USO, and we have a chance to get it off to the best possible start IF we can unlock this match offer. Will you rush an immediate donation of $29 or more to stand with the heroes who have sacrificed so much for us this year?

Thank you so much and have a wonderful weekend!

Tabitha Glenn
Vice President, USO
