Today, National 4-H
Council announced the launch of the fall 2013 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply
Company (TSC). This event marks the 4th year of collaboration between the
organizations on the national in-store fundraiser, benefiting state and local 4‑H
programming in each of the communities where a TSC or Del’s Farm and Feed
Supply store is located.
The
fall 2013 4-H Paper Clover Campaign will
take place October 9 through Ocotober 20, 2013.
Shoppers at the Terrell TSC store will have the opportunity to support 4-H
in Kaufman County by
choosing to purchase paper clovers for a $1 or more at checkout. All funds
raised will be donated to 4-H, and will support 4-H youth development program activities in Kaufman County.
“Through
this highly impactful community event, we have been able to raise funds
nationally over the past few years for thousands of 4-H youth across the
country," said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H
Council. “We are more than pleased with the success of the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign, and we are even more honored to continue
the tremendous partnership that drives support for 4-H clubs and programs in
the communities of more than 1,200 Tractor Supply Company and Del's Feed and
Farm Supply stores.”
In
just four years, across 48 states, the TSC 4-H
Paper Clover Campaign has provided more than $2 million to 4-H across the
country. All proceeds raised directly benefit 4-H, with 70 percent of funds
being returned to state and local 4-H programs. The effort has provided direct
support for local
camps, after-school programs and other activities,
and has granted scholarships to these events that youth can explore their
interests in everything from animal science to robotics.
“Our
Paper Clover efforts are one of the key ways our stores can give back to the
community," said John Wendler, senior vice president of Marketing for Tractor
Supply Company. "By providing essential funding for hundreds of thousands
of 4-H young people, we are able to support local organizations that are
important to both our customer and our Team Members. We're proud to help improve the many
communities in which we have stores through our partnership with 4-H.That is
what Tractor Supply is all about."
Once
again, funds donated during the national campaign will be tracked online and
recorded by state and by store. Visit www.tractorsupply.com/4-H, for more

Clover Campaign and to view the donation tracker.
