This fall Tractor Supply Company (TSC) is rolling out their new Paper Clover Campaign that will impact even more kids in our counties. For every dollar you donate, now $0.90 will go directly to send kids to 4-H camp and leadership conferences, and only $0.10 will go to the National 4-H Council to administer the program. This change means more money will impact your county's youth! The next Paper Clover Campaign will happen October 5-16, 2016.
California had our most successful campaign to date this past spring, raising over $54,000 from generous customers who supported 4-H at TSC's registers. We are grateful to everyone who participated, from buying a Clover to working at a 4-H table during the campaign at their local Tractor Supply.
The results definitely prove that the more 4-Her's spend time at their local TSC talking to customers about their experience in 4-H, showing some of their projects, and encouraging customers to buy a Paper Clover, the more money is raised. Customers love to connect with our youth!
If you haven't already been in touch with your local Tractor Supply Store, please stop by and thank the manager and his or her team for their generous support of 4-H and see how you can get involved in this tremendous community partnership. Think of the number of kids you could possibly help send to 4-H camp or to a leadership conference just by working with your Club and getting your 4-Her's to a TSC in your community and by encouraging your friends, family and neighbors to support this campaign! Thanks for all you do to support our 4-H youth.
