    National 4-H Council announced the launch of the fall 2016 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply Company. This event marks the seventh year of collaboration between the organizations on the national in-store fundraiser, benefiting 4-H programming in New Jersey.
    The fall 2016 4-H Paper Clover Campaign will take place through Oct. 16. Shoppers at any of the 13 Tractor Supply stores in New Jersey will have the opportunity to support the New Jersey 4-H Program by choosing to purchase paper clovers for $1 or more at the checkout. All funds raised will be donated to 4-H and will support scholarships for 4-H camp and leadership experiences in New Jersey.
    “For many years, the Paper Clover fundraiser has allowed us to provide thousands of 4-H youth across the country greater access to 4-H programs,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and chief executive officer of the National 4-H Council. “We are thrilled about our continued partnership with Tractor Supply Company as it drives the excitement of local community participation and support for 4-H programs, and therefore the success of the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign.”
    Last year, across 49 states, the TSC 4-H Paper Clover Campaign provided more than $1.8 million to 4-H across the country. All proceeds raised directly benefit 4-H, with 90 percent of funds being returned to state and local 4-H programs.
    “The Paper Clover fundraiser is a significant part of Tractor Supply Company’s support of 4-H programs throughout the 1,500 communities we serve,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president, marketing, Tractor Supply Company. “We are proud to be able to provide essential funding to state 4-H programs. These programs make a positive impact on young people that last a lifetime. The continued success of the Tractor Supply Paper Clover fundraisers demonstrate the importance of our 4-H partnership with our customers, team members and communities.”
