Tractor Supply’s Spring Paper Clover Program to Provide Thousands of Leadership Opportunities for 4-H Youth
March 20 2019 - 9:00AM
Tractor Supply Company, in partnership with National 4-H Council,
is gearing up for its Spring Paper Clover event, a semi-annual
fundraising campaign that provides millions of dollars in
scholarships for 4-H youth. Donations from the program provide
opportunities for youth to attend enriching camps, conferences and
other developmental programs across the country.
From March 27 – April 7, Tractor Supply customers and team
members can participate in the Paper Clover fundraiser by
purchasing a paper clover for a donation during checkout at stores
nationwide or by making a purchase online at TractorSupply.com.
Now in its ninth year, the partnership between Tractor Supply
and 4-H has generated more than $12 million in essential funding.
This past fall’s initiative raised nearly $2 million, impacting
more than 14,000 students.
“Tractor Supply has an unparalleled partnership with the
National 4-H Council, and our biannual Paper Clover program is a
true representation of the incredible value 4-H brings to youth,
families and communities,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice
president of marketing at Tractor Supply Company. “We look forward
to this program each year because it allows us to invest in youth
who are passionate about impacting the world around them.”
Fundraising efforts from Tractor Supply’s Paper Clover event
provide scholarships for numerous state level 4-H programs
nationwide, and every donation benefits youth within the state it
was collected. Scholarships are used for camps and leadership
conferences, where attendees learn everything from animal care and
woodworking to professional networking practices and civic
responsibility.
According to Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of National
4-H Council, this program uniquely supports and encourages 4-H
youth to continue making a difference in their lives, careers and
communities.
“Thanks to our partnership with Tractor Supply Company, the
Paper Clover program exposes youth to the benefits of the 4-H
experience, such as hands-on learning, which empowers them to
become lifelong leaders,” said Sirangelo. “Nothing brings us
greater joy than to support the skills and interests of our 4-H
youth throughout their journey to adulthood. The Paper Clover
program allows more youth to hone lifelong leadership skills like
responsibility, resiliency and hard work.”
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
