This event marks two years of collaboration between the organizations on the national in-store fundraiser, benefiting state and local 4-H programming in each of the communities where a TSC or Del\u2019s Farm and Feed Supply store is located.<br \/>\nThe spring 2012 4-H Paper Clover Campaign will take place May 2 through May 13, 2012. Shoppers at Tractor Supply Company and Del&#8217;s Feed and Food Supply stores will have the opportunity to support 4-H in nearly 1,000 communities by purchasing paper clovers for a $1 or more at checkout. All funds raised will be donated to 4-H and will support 4-H youth development program activities in the communities where stores are located.<br \/>\n\u201cThrough this highly impactful community event, we have been able to raise funds nationally over the past few years for thousands of 4-H youth across the country,&#8221; said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council. \u201cWe are more than pleased with the success of the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign, and we are even more honored to continue the tremendous partnership that drives support for 4-H clubs and programs in the communities of more than 1,000 Tractor Supply Company and Del&#8217;s Feed and Farm Supply stores.\u201d<br \/>\nIn just two years, the TSC 4-H Paper Clover Campaign has provided more than $1 million to 4-H across the country, with 70 percent of the funds returning to state and local 4-H programs. The effort has provided direct support for local camps, after-school programs and other activities, and has granted scholarships to these events that youth can explore their interests in everything from animal science to robotics.<br \/>\n\u201cOur Paper Clover efforts are one of the key ways our stores can give back to the community,&#8221; said John Wendler, senior vice president of Marketing for Tractor Supply Company. &#8220;By providing essential funding for hundreds of thousands of 4-H young people, we are able to support local organizations that are important to both our customer and our Team Members. We&#8217;re proud to help improve the many communities in which we have stores through our partnership with 4-H. That is what Tractor Supply is all about.&#8221;<br \/>\nThis year, funds donated during the national campaign will be tracked online and recorded by state and by store.
