Tractor Supply Kicks Off Semi-Annual 4-H Fundraiser
April 05 2018 - 2:41PM
Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the
country, is hosting its ninth year of Paper Clover, a fundraising
campaign that provides millions of dollars in scholarships for 4-H
youth in partnership with National 4-H council.
From April 11 to April 22, Tractor Supply customers can
participate in the Paper Clover fundraiser by purchasing a paper
clover—the emblem of 4-H—for a donation during checkout at stores
nationwide or by making a purchase online at TractorSupply.com. The
funds raised will be awarded to 4-H youth as scholarships to attend
camps and leadership conferences in the state where the donation
was collected.
“Every Paper Clover donation directly contributes to the growth
and development of 4-H youth,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice
president of marketing at Tractor Supply Company. “Tractor Supply
customers and team members show incredible support for this program
because they see the value 4-H brings in teaching indispensable
skills that benefit their communities for years to come.”
Since its start in 2010, the partnership between Tractor Supply
and 4-H has generated more than $13 million in essential funding.
Last year the Paper Clover fundraiser, which takes place in the
spring and fall, saw a record-breaking year with more than $1.8
million raised.
“The stories we hear from the thousands of 4-H youth who have
attended camps and leadership conferences because of Paper Clover
remind us why we work so hard to support this mission,” said
Jessica Holmes, store marketing manager at Tractor Supply Company.
“In every Tractor Supply community, we see 4-H members growing into
leaders and we are proud to play a role in their development.”
Fundraising efforts from Paper Clover fund scholarships for
numerous state level 4-H programs nationwide, and every donation
benefits youth within the state it was collected.
“4-H continues to empower America’s youth with hands-on learning
and education programs that encompass skills like responsibility,
resiliency and hard work,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and
CEO, National 4-H Council. “Thanks to our partnership with Tractor
Supply Company, its team members and the communities it serves, the
Paper Clover promotion gives more youth the opportunity to
experience and benefit from 4-H.”
4-H clubs are encouraged to contact a Tractor Supply store to
participate during the in-store fundraiser. Those who participate
with their local store are eligible to win a $100 Tractor Supply
gift card through the Paper Clover Participation Sweepstakes. For
