Tractor Supply Paper Clover Fundraiser

Starting April 23rd-May 4th the Paper Clover Fundraiser will be going on at Tractor Supply locations across the country. Our local Tractor Supply stores (in both Elkin and Mt Airy) are looking for 4-H'ers to come out on Saturday, April 26 or May 3 to help promote the fundraiser and raise money for 4-H. They would like for us to set up a table outside of the store for a couple of hours to tell people about 4-H and ask them to donate a dollar at checkout for 4-H. 

100% of the fundraiser will benefit 4-H with 70% staying local to each store.

I am asking for 4-H clubs, volunteers, parents, and youth who may be interested in helping out on either Saturday at the Elkin or Mt Airy store to contact Whitney at (336) 401-8025 or whitney_sprinkle@ncsu.edu for further details (time, materials, etc). 

This is such a GREAT opportunity to get out in the community to promote 4-H and raise money for our Surry County program!

Thank you for all you do to support your local 4-H!
