Since its inception, The Bert Show’s “Big Thank You” campaign has collected more than one million handwritten letters. School systems, corporations and celebrities across the country have shown their support by writing personalized letters and encouraging students, customers and fans to do the same. The campaign has received letters from all over the United States, as well as Puerto Rico and Spain, including some letters written in Chinese and braille. The Bert Show has even received calls from First Lady Michelle Obama and former President Bill Clinton, congratulating them on the “Big Thank You” campaign’s overall success in previous years.

“The ‘Big Thank You’ is one of the most rewarding things we do on our show each year,” says Bert Weiss, host of The Bert Show. “This is an ambitious goal, but that’s why we need the nation’s help. We know how important it is to make sure the sacrifices made by the men and women in our military and their families are recognized which is why we want every single person deployed outside the United States to receive a handwritten thank you letter from home on Thanksgiving.”

All letters must be submitted by Friday, October 30, 2015, in order for soldiers to receive the letters on Thanksgiving.

Letters can be dropped off at the Q100 studios, or mailed directly to The Bert Show at 780 Johnson Ferry Road 5th Floor Atlanta, GA 30342. For more information on formatting and submitting guidelines, as well as a complete list of drop-off locations, please visit HERE.
