The German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA® announces its 40th anniversary summer social media campaign – #GAHF40Years.

During the months of July and August we will celebrate GAHF 40 year anniversary with the launch of – #GAHF40Years.Look out for our essay/photo contest for the chance to win an all-inclusive trip for two to New York City and some exciting 40-year memorabilia!

Forty years ago, as the United States was celebrating its bicentennial, a group of forward-thinking German-Americans met at the Cannstatter Volksfest Verein in Philadelphia with the goal of establishing a national organization to honor the achievements and contributions made by German-Americans to this country. Chartered the following year as the United German-American Committee, and now also known as the German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA®, the GAHF has continued in its mission to discover, promote, and educate the public about the achievements of German-Americans, most notably with the opening of its very own museum and new foundation headquarters in 2010. As we continue to celebrate the milestones this foundation has achieved, we also thank our countless foundation members and supporters who have helped us over the years.


The social media campaign will consist of a photo contest, where participants will post a picture of what is “German-American” to them, along with a short description no longer than 150 words on the GAHMUSA facebook page.   The winners will be selected by the amount of shares and likes they receive.  First place will win a trip to NYC out of Washington, DC.   Second and third place will win 40-year-anniversary memorabilia. *
Start sharing your story with us and your friends and spread the word about the 40-Year- Anniversary Campaign.
