Company joins 4-H in paper clover effort

7 years ago

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Tractor Supply Company will continue its successful partnership with National 4-H Council by hosting its semi-annual Paper Clover Campaign fundraiser for 4-H students Oct. 4-15.

Customers can participate by purchasing paper clover emblems during checkout. Donations, which begin at $1 and have no cap, fund scholarships that send in-state 4-H youth to 4-H camps, conferences and development programs, where they learn everything from animal care to civic leadership.

“We created the paper clover fundraiser because we know how important local 4-H groups are to protecting a way of life that’s built around community and service,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply Company.

The partnership between the National 4-H Council and Tractor Supply has yielded more than $11 million to support 4-H programming since 2010. The spring 2017 campaign raised nearly $825,000, resulting in 16,301 scholarships awarded to youth attending camps or other leadership experiences.

Individual 4-H Clubs are encouraged to participate at their local Tractor Supply stores during the fundraiser. Many groups will hold bake sales, car washes and other activities to help boost donations.
