Campaign continues to support 4-H

    DOVER-FOXCROFT — Maine’s 2013 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply Company (TSC) will be running through May 19, part of a nationwide in-store fundraiser

that benefits state and local 4-H programming in each of the communities where a TSC or Del’s Farm and Feed Supply store is located. 
    “Funds raised through this promotion help improve our 4-H programs and allow us to offer more programs for youth in Maine,” says Lisa Phelps, University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H program administrator.
    This is third year of the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign, shoppers at the Dover-Foxcroft TSC store will have the opportunity to support 4-H in Piscataquis County by choosing to purchase paper clovers at checkout. All funds raised will be donated to 4-H, and will support 4-H youth development activities in Piscataquis County.
    “Through 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,” says Donald Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council. “We 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’s Feed and Farm Supply stores.”
    The Paper Clover efforts are one of the key ways TSC stores can give back to the community, says John Wendler, TSC senior vice president of marketing. “We’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.”
    Funds donated will be tracked online and recorded by state and by store. More information is online (www.tractorsupply.com/4-H).
