Since 2010, Tractor Supply has partnered with 4‑H to prepare youth to be ready for work and life. The success of the Paper Clover campaign has raised more than $24 million to impact local youth with the technical skills and life skills that prepare them for whatever comes their way.

Below are youth from Cherokee County who used Paper Clover Funds to attend 4-H Congress.

100 percent of funds raised through the bi-annual Paper Clover campaign directly benefits 4‑H youth. 90 percent of donations directly support 4‑H youth in the state where the funds were raised, and the remaining 10 percent supports the overall mission and growth of 4‑H nationally. Over 80% of the funds raised in Cherokee County come back to the Cherokee County 4-H Program to be used for 4-H camping and 4-H leadership opportunities, like 4-H Congress.

Below are youth from Cherokee County who used Paper Clover Funds to attend 4-H Camp.  They attended Advanced Fur, Fish, and Game 4-H Camp at the Millstone 4-H Center.

The dates for the 2025 Winter Paper Clover Campaign are: November 28th-December 14th.

So when you visit our local Tractor Supply, between November 28th - December 14th, at 3340 West US 64, Murphy, NC 28906, buy a paper clover to support 4-H across our clubs, communities, countries, and our world, but especially here in Cherokee County.

This year, you also have the opportunity to purchase ornaments that will also support 4-H.  100% of the proceeds will go to 4-H, so be on the lookout for these adorable Barnyard Buddies!
