Paper clovers are available for purchase at participating Tractor Supply Co. stores again starting Friday, April 18 and ending Monday, May 5. All proceeds from this fundraiser come back to 4-H, with 90% of donations directly supporting youth in Ohio and the remaining 10% supporting the overall mission and growth of 4-H nationally.
Read about some of the ways our counties used funds from the TSC paper clover fundraiser in 2024 below.
Crawford County
Crawford County used TSC paper clover funds to pay for a bus to bring all 127 campers to Kelleys Island during 4-H camp last summer. Youth had the opportunity see the state park’s pier, hike along the North Shore Loop Trail, visit the Old Stone Crusher, and explore the glacial grooves.
Additional funds were awarded to 4-H youth in the form of camp scholarships.
Geauga County
Thanks to funds from TSC’s paper clover fundraiser, Geauga County provided full scholarships for youth to attend Cloverbud Camp in 2024. Cloverbuds attended Camp Whitewood for a day during the week of Geauga County’s residence camp, with older resident campers serving as Cloverbud Camp CITs (counselors in training).
Cloverbud campers experienced the same fun as residence campers: 
swimming, boating, nature, crafts, and the 4-H camp atmosphere. Funds from TSC also allowed Geauga County to expand its Cloverbud activities, grow the camping program, and develop new youth leadership opportunities.
Jackson County
TSC paper clover funds helped Jackson County pay for costs associated with training teens to serve as camp counselors. Normally, teens would have to pay to be counselors at camp, but TSC funds ensure that camp counselors do not have to pay for any of their training or camp fees.
Training includes “Counselor College” at Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp, where the teens receive instruction on how to effectively serve as camp counselors. This year Jackson County also plans to use TSC funds to pay for CPR and first aid training courses for camp counselors.
