"Our customers and Team Members have once again shown incredible generosity throughout this Paper Clover campaign. The funds raised this spring benefit many young people in our communities and it is an honor and privilege to play a part in their futures.”
The donations, which generate scholarships for 4-H youth, were made through Paper Clover purchases at checkout through May 8, 2022. To date, the Tractor Supply Paper Clover campaigns have raised more than $17 million. In the fall of 2021, the campaign raised more than $1.3 million.
