Forsyth 4-H Youth Get Boost from Tractor Supply Co.

Today, the Tractor Supply Company (TSC) stores in Rural Hall and Clemmons joined 4-H in support of local youth with the TSC Paper Clover Campaign, a national in-store fundraising effort to benefit state and local 4 H programming in each of the communities where a Tractor Supply Company store is located.

Beginning Friday, March 26, through Sunday, April 18, shoppers at the Rural Hall and Clemmons Tractor Supply Company will have the opportunity to support 4-H in Forsyth, Davie and Stokes Counties by purchasing paper clovers for just $1 at checkout. All funds raised through this local TSC Paper Clover Campaign will be donated to 4-H, and will support local camps, after-school programs and other 4-H youth development program activities in Forsyth, Davie and Stokes Counties.

Forsyth County 4-H Agent, April Bowman said, “We have always had a great working relationship with Tractor Supply Company and are happy that we can join in this partnership with them to help benefit our local 4-H program.”

“Many of our stores have been involved with 4-H clubs for years. Now, Tractor Supply Company is proud to have an official chain-wide relationship with 4-H,” said Tractor Supply Company Chairman and CEO Jim Wright. “For us, this is an outstanding way to support our current and future customers and future team members, and it’s a way to give back to the 900-plus unique communities we serve.”

“We are thrilled to have the generous support of Tractor Supply Company for our Paper Clover Campaign,” said Donald T. Floyd, Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council. “This new partnership will help provide funding to 4-H programs in more than 900 Tractor Supply Company communities across the nation, providing opportunities for youth to participate in activities that will in turn help them make positive contributions and become strong, confident adults. We look forward to a successful TSC Paper Clover Campaign this year!”
