CARROLL, Ill. — Every year, 4-Her’s in Lee County participate in a number of 4-H programs to help improve their knowledge and leadership skills. This fall, Tractor Supply stores are continuing their long-standing partnership with 4-H for the 2018 Fall Paper Clover Campaign to make it possible for more youth in the community to experience 4-H’s youth-led, hands-on programming.
October 3-14 Tractor Supply customers can participate in the 2018 Fall Paper Clover campaign by purchasing paper clovers for $1 or more at checkout. The funds raised will be awarded as scholarships to individual Lee County 4-H members wishing to attend 4-H camps and leadership conferences across the country. The number of scholarships distributed to students following the fall campaign will be determined based on the total amount raised.
Lee County 4-H members will be on hand Saturday October 6 and 13 at the Dixon Tractor Supply promoting 4-H. The Dixon Tractor Supply Store placed 1st in the state during the Spring Campaign. We hope to achieve that again this fall!
Since it began in 2010, the partnership between Tractor Supply and 4-H has generated more than $11,000,000 in essential funding. The Paper Clover fundraiser, which takes place in the spring and fall, raised over $981,000 during the spring 2018 campaign. The fundraising effort directly supports numerous 4-H programs in Lee County.
