Since 2010, Tractor Supply has partnered with 4‑H to prepare youth to be "Beyond 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 youth from Cherokee County used Paper Clover Funds to attend 4-H Camp.

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.

Dates for the 2026 Spring Paper Clover Campaigns are: April 17th – May 3rd.

So remember when you visit our local Tractor Supply, April 17th - May 3rd, 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.
