NEW JERSEY 4-H & TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY
PARTNER ON THE NATIONAL PAPER CLOVER CAMPAIGN
The Tractor Supply Company (TSC) stores in New Jersey and across the nation joined the New Jersey 4-H Program in support of local youth with the 4-H 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.
The success of last fall’s campaign spurred TSC’s continued support of the community fundraising event. Beginning Friday, April 15, through Monday, April 25, shoppers at the Tractor Supply Company will have the opportunity to support 4-H in New Jersey by purchasing paper clovers for just $1 at checkout. All funds raised through this 4-H TSC Paper Clover Campaign will be donated to 4-H to support educational programs on the national, state and local level.
