Update: This giveaway is now closed. Donna, comment #30, is the winner.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car wants to say “Thank You” to the people who made their growth possible. That’s why they are planting 50 million trees all across the United States and in the countries where we do business over the next 50 years.
Watch this video to see Enterprise employees in action and to hear them say thank you to YOU.
Thank you. Two little words that can change someone’s entire day and yet I think they are probably the two most underused words in our vocabulary. Well, let’s change that!!
Enterprise wants you to thank someone in your life and dedicate a virtual tree, one of the 50 million that they are working to plant over the next 50 years. AND they are going to reward one lucky reader with a $50 American Express card for doing so. I have a new entry question for every two days. So let’s keep those two words “thank you” in the forefront of our minds.
The fact that the giveaway goes for the duration of the Olympics is not just a simple coincidence. Oh no, it’s significant! The Olympic Games align with the values, the can-do spirit and heritage of Enterprise as an American success story.
I’ll kick off this thank you train and then you jump on, and enter to win $50!
Thank you, loyal readers, for coming back day after day.
Thank you, past, present and future service members, for my freedom.
Thank you, Enterprise, for pledging to plant 50 million trees and helping me express my thanks.

I would dedicate a tree to my best friend! On June 3, 2011, she saved my life by answering her text message and running to my home, where she called 911. I was 20 weeks pregnant with a little girl. My husband was working midnights. It was my birthday, my bestie and I had plans to go out for my birthday. I woke up to get ready and was in the middle of an extreme medical emergency.. Once at the hospital, they discovered our little girl was gone and I was bleeding to death, internally, from a massive uterine rupture.. I wasn’t expected to live, let alone now be the proud momma of a 12 week old miracle baby.. I owe it all to my friend who was there when I needed her the most…
I am thankful for my friends and my family who have been there me through all the hard days.. And those that share the best days of my life too!!
I’m thankful that my son and grandson just stopped by for a visit!
i am thankful for my religious belief!
Today, I am thankful for you! You gave me some pointers and you didn’t have to do that.
