Spring Paper Clover Campaign Supports

Local 4-H Youth Programs

Thanks to Tractor Supply Company/Del’s stores nationwide, the Paper Clover promotion has raised over $300,000 in support of 4-H in just the first seven days -- at this pace, the fundraising initiative is on track to raise more than any Paper Clover promotion in history! There are five days left to get New York State to the top ten and help this spring's Paper Clover raise more funds for the Fulton/Montgomery and New York State 4-H program than ever before!

The Spring 2012 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply Company (TSC) is taking place May 2 – 13. Now in its third year, the fundraiser allows TSC shoppers to purchase paper clovers for $1.00 at checkout. Paper clovers are being sold at the 990 Tractor Supply Centers throughout the country to support 4-H. In New York State 65 percent of the monies raised will be allocated to county 4-H programs and the NYS 4-H Foundation will receive ten percent of the funds raised. In Fulton and Montgomery Counties there are two Tractor Supply Stores – one at 4584 State Highway 30 in Amsterdam and one at 27 Arterial Plaza in Gloversville. Individuals are encouraged to shop TSC and buy a clover during this special promotion to support local 4-H youth development program activities.

Support 4-H and Honor Mom with Paper Clover!

Want to show your support of 4-H and Mom? Drop by your local TSC/Del’s store to show your support for 4-H and your appreciation of Mom by purchasing a Paper Clover! Write a tribute to Mom on your Paper Clover and hang it in the store so everyone will know why your mom is the best! Paper Clover ends on May 13th (Mother’s Day) so hurry in now.

The TSC 4-H Paper Clover Campaign has provided nearly $500,000 to local 4-H programs across the country. The effort has provided support for 4-H clubs, school enrichment, after-school programs and other activities so youth can explore their interests in everything from animal science to robotics.

4-H is the youth programming component of Cornell Cooperative Extension.
