nationwide
Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle
retailer in the United States, announced today the launch of its
seventh annual FFA T-shirt Fundraiser nationwide. For a limited
time, Tractor Supply will sell a special-edition FFA T-shirt in
stores and online to support the National FFA Organization.
Campaign proceeds will be distributed to chapters across the
country, funding agricultural programs and activities for FFA
youth.
Each year, Tractor Supply designs an exclusive T-shirt for the
National FFA Convention & Expo and sells it prior to the event.
The convention is one of the world’s largest student conventions,
intended to celebrate growth and achievement of the students,
chapters, National FFA council members and more. This year’s
convention will be held Oct. 27-30 in Indianapolis and features
both in-person and virtual programming.
“Each year, Tractor Supply Team Members and customers eagerly
anticipate the FFA T-shirt Fundraiser, as it signals that the
National FFA Convention & Expo is approaching, which is a major
highlight for all FFA members,” said Christi Korzekwa, Senior Vice
President, Marketing at Tractor Supply. “The fundraiser allows
everyone to be a part of this exciting event while showing off
their support for FFA, an organization critical to the future of
agriculture in this country. We hope the 2021 FFA T-shirt
Fundraiser is our best yet so that FFA has the funding it needs to
provide the next generation of leaders with the tools to
thrive.”
The 2021 FFA T-shirt is available for $12.99 at Tractor Supply
stores nationwide, at TractorSupply.com and through the Tractor
Supply mobile app. Proceeds from the program support three FFA
programs: Gift of Blue, Living to Serve and Alumni Legacy. Gift of
Blue provides jackets for members who otherwise would not be able
to afford a jacket, Living to Serve encourages students to
participate in leadership opportunities and make positive
contributions to their communities. The grants distributed through
Alumni Legacy help build or strengthen their alumni chapters.
Since its inception in 2014, Tractor Supply’s T-shirt Fundraiser
has raised a total of $1,714,884 for FFA programs. Additionally,
Tractor Supply supports FFA in its mission through multiple annual
fundraising events, such as Grants for Growing and activities at
the local level.
