For the sixth year, Tractor Supply Company (TSC), in partnership with 4-H, is launching the Spring 2015 TSC Paper Clover Campaign. The TSC Paper Clover Campaign is a national in-store fundraiser benefiting state and local 4-H programming where a TSC store is located.
The Spring 2015 TSC Paper Clover Campaign will take place April 22-May 3 at all of the 47 Kentucky Tractor Supply Company stores. TSC customers have the opportunity to purchase a paper clover for $1 or more during checkout and they will be displayed in the stores. Last year, Kentucky 4-H raised over $58,000 during the two TSC Paper Clover Campaigns. Kentucky was in the top 10 for the most funds raised nationally.
4-H benefits from all donations received with 70% of the funds going back to the local and state 4-H communities where the donations were received. The remaining 30% goes to the National 4-H Council. County 4-H programs utilize the funds to support local club activities and purchase supplies, transportation needs related to 4-H events, awards, scholarships, and other activities. 4-H activities range from animal science projects to robotics and more programs enjoyed by 4-Hers.
TSC stores are focused on supplying the lifestyle needs of recreational farmers and ranchers while serving the maintenance needs of those who enjoy the rural lifestyle. Through the support of TSC, and the employees encouragement of their customers, TSC is making an immense impact on 4-H. Last year, the Paper Clover Campaign raised over $1.5 million for 4-Her’s across the nation, totaling over $4 million dollars in the last 5 years.
“We want to say thank you to TSC and its customers for supporting 4-H and its 256,345 members across Kentucky,” said Keith Rogers, Executive Director of the Kentucky 4-H Foundation. “The majority of the funds raised during this promotion are provided to local 4-H Councils and 4-H Agents to support programming, this is one way for everyone in a community with a TSC store to support our youth.”
Funds from the national campaign will be tracked online and recorded by state and store. Visit www.tractorsupply.com/4-H for more information on the Paper Clover Campaign and view the donation tracker.
From April 22-May 3 stop in your local TSC store and show your support to Kentucky 4-H. Purchase a Paper Clover for Kentucky’s youth!
