Merrill’s new Tractor Supply Store will participate in a Paper Clover Campaign to raise funds for 4-H programming.
In a Sept. 14 press release, Tractor Supply Company (TSC) announced they have again teamed up with the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation for the Paper Clover Campaign. For every $1 paper clover sold at a Wisconsin TSC during the campaign, 90 cents will go to the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation to be used for leadership activities, and the other 10 cents will support the National 4-H Council. The Fall 2022 campaign is set for Oct. 5-16.
The funds raised via this campaign are not in any way connected to UW-Extension funding from Lincoln County which is the subject of controversy currently.
“This year the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation is actively encouraging clubs and 4-H members to work with TSC stores in their area to do an in-store promotion during the fall 2022 campaign, with the opportunity to earn a TSC gift card for their club,” the press release said. More information about that and official rules are available at: https://wis4hfoundation.org/tsc-paper-clover/.
“The paper clover campaign is a great way for everyone to visit their local Tractor Supply and support Wisconsin 4-H,” said Brenda Scheider, Executive Director of the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation. “Those dollars add up quickly. Last year the TSC campaigns provided over $20,000 to support leadership programming like the Fall Leadership Forum and the Wisconsin Leadership Council.”
“These promotions are a great way to share the incredible opportunities that 4-H provides to our youth,” Scheider said. “And we’re grateful to Tractor Supply for their support of Wisconsin 4-H. Look for 4-Hers at your local stores and say hello.”
Tractor Supply stores in communities across the country have long supported 4-H clubs. For more information about TSC, visit their website: www.tractorsupply.com.
