This is a nomination giveaway

Thrive Gives Share the Health Sweepstakes

The promotion is designed around sharing the truthful story of a deserving nominee. The stated mission includes helping families experiencing financial need, as well as students, teachers, veterans, nurses and first responders.

The nomination should explain why the person or family deserves consideration and how the entry connects with that mission. A winning prize should not be treated as something automatically awarded to the person completing the form; the entry centers on the deserving nominee and must follow all official form prompts.

No purchase or entry fee is required. Automatically generated entries are not accepted, so entrants need to write an original and accurate submission rather than relying on copied or fabricated material.

Prepare a story of at least 200 words

Every nomination must include a story containing at least 200 words. Before opening the entry form, it may help to draft the story in a separate document or notes app. That makes it easier to check the word count, correct errors and avoid losing work on a mobile device.

Focus on specific, truthful details that explain who the nominee is, why that person or family is deserving and how the nomination fits the Thrive Gives mission. Do not exaggerate circumstances or include claims that cannot be supported. Thrive Market may ask for proof that the entrant had permission to share the story or that statements in the submission are accurate.

The Gleam form also asks for a photo of the nominee or a video of the nominator explaining the nomination. Review the live form carefully and provide the requested media in the format it accepts. Incomplete, unreadable or unintelligible submissions may be disqualified.

Get permission before sharing details

Entrants must have permission from the nominee before submitting the person’s story. This matters especially when a nomination includes personal circumstances, a photograph or other identifying information.

Ask the nominee what information they are comfortable sharing and obtain approval for the photo or story before uploading anything. Keep the account accurate to the best of your knowledge, and avoid adding private details that are not necessary to explain the nomination.

If a family is being nominated, take extra care with information involving children, health matters, finances or home addresses. The story can be meaningful without disclosing every sensitive detail.

Who can enter and how often

Eligibility: 18+, USA; void in AK and HI. Active email and Internet access required. Employee/family/household exclusions apply.

Entry limit: One-time entry: one nomination per person for the entire promotion

The one-entry limit applies to the entire promotion. Choose your nominee and review your story before submitting; do not send extra entries for additional chances.

Check the email address entered on the form before completing the submission. The sponsor plans to contact selected winners using the email address provided by the nominating individual, making an accurate and actively monitored inbox important.

Deadline and what happens afterward

The official rules list October 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST. EST is the time-zone abbreviation used by the sponsor. Taken literally, that is the same instant as October 19, 2026 at 12:59 AM ET during Eastern daylight time, which is reflected in this site’s countdown. Follow the sponsor’s live form and submit your nomination well before closing.

Do not wait until the closing minutes to start writing or upload media. The minimum-length story, permission requirement and photo-or-video prompt can all take time to complete properly.

The random drawing is scheduled to take place within two weeks after the promotion closes. Selected winners may need to respond, claim the prize and return any required eligibility or release documents within seven days of notification. Failure to respond in time can result in forfeiture and selection of an alternate winner.

Before submitting, confirm that the story is at least 200 words, the nominee granted permission, all statements are truthful, the requested media is attached and the email address is correct. Since only one nomination is allowed per person for the full promotion, this final review is worth doing before completing the entry.
