This week the Kentucky 4-H Foundation is distributing more than $14,000 to 47 County 4-H Councils as part of the Tractor Supply Company (TSC) Paper Clover Campaign.
The TSC Paper Clover Campaign is a nationwide, in-store fundraiser that benefits 4-H programming at the local, state, and national levels. During the campaign, TSC customers can support 4-H by purchasing paper clovers for a $1 or more at checkout.
This is the third year that 4-H and TSC partnered to promote this national campaign. The Kentucky 4-H Foundation partners with the National 4-H Council to support the program in our state.
We are excited to announce today the results of the campaign and distribute the County 4-H Council’s share of the fall promotion that ran this past September. During the 12-day fall promotion, the 45 TSC stores in Kentucky raised $23,594 for 4-H programs. Of the total raised, 60% goes to support 4-H programs in the county or area that the TSC store serves.
Many of our 4-H’ers, volunteers, and agents participate with in-store displays, demonstrations, and events during the campaign. Not only does this help increase TSC customer participation, but also it gives 4-H members an opportunity to interact with the public about their 4-H projects, to “learn-by-doing,” and raise the visibility of 4-H.

The exciting part about this partnership is this is 4-H’s sixth promotion with TSC. Our first promotion was in April 2010, and to date, we have raised a total of $83,956.73 in Kentucky. Each campaign has out-raised the previous one.
We want to extend our sincere thanks to all those who helped make this TSC Paper Clover Campaign the best to date, including 4-H members, volunteers, and agents who participated with the in-store promotions and especially all TSC customers who purchased a Paper Clover at their favorite TSC store. Finally, we want to extend a special thank you to TSC for supporting Kentucky 4-H; your support has been invaluable to our 4-H program.
We are planning a spring and fall promotion with TSC in 2013, so get ready to purchase your Paper Clovers and help us continue to grow support for 4-H.

We are so excited about this opportunity in Caldwell co. Our store opened in August and we are a District Champion! Our kids worked hard and are very proud. The store manager, Dave Miller, was such a big help and promoted the Clover Campaign with such enthusiasm. The employees are also a key in our success. We have had several opportunities for fund raisers at TSC, etc. We are loving that TSC has came to Princeton!!
