Visit your local Tractor Supply in October and purchase a paper clover to help New Jersey 4-H members participate in 4-H leadership and camp programs.
National 4-H Council announced the launch of the Fall 2020 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply Company (TSC). This event marks the tenth year of collaboration between the organizations on the national in-store and online fundraiser, benefiting 4‑H programming in New Jersey.
The Fall 2020 4-H Paper Clover Campaign will take place October 7-18. Shoppers at any of the 20 Tractor Supply Company stores located in New Jersey will have the opportunity to support the New Jersey 4-H Program by choosing to make a donation at the checkout while at a store or online from the TSC website. Funds raised will be donated to 4-H and will support scholarships for 4-H camp and leadership experiences in New Jersey.
“For many years, the Paper Clover fundraiser has allowed us to provide thousands of 4-H youth across the country greater access to 4-H programs,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO, National 4-H Council. “We are thrilled about our continued partnership with Tractor Supply Company as it drives the excitement of local community participation and support for 4-H programs, and therefore the success of the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign.”
