Proceeds from limited-edition shirts benefit
FFA chapters across the country
Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural
lifestyle retailer in the United States, announced today the launch
of its 10th annual National FFA T-shirt fundraiser. For a limited
time, Tractor Supply customers in stores or online can purchase
special-edition T-shirts designed to commemorate the 97th National
FFA Convention & Expo. Proceeds from the fundraiser are
distributed to FFA chapters across the country, supporting programs
and activities designed to grow the next generation of leaders who
will change the world.
"For the past ten years, Tractor Supply has been honored to
create our own National FFA Convention T-shirts that our customers
eagerly anticipate every year," shared Kimberly Gardiner the chief
marketing officer at Tractor Supply. “While the shirts commemorate
this highly anticipated event, the fundraising component also
enables FFA members, alumni and supporters to give back to this
impactful organization. We are honored and excited to launch
another year of FFA Convention T-shirts to outfit and support the
next generation of leaders.”
FFA Convention T-shirts are now available for purchase at
Tractor Supply stores nationwide and online at TractorSupply.com.
Proceeds from the campaign benefit FFA programs including the
"Living to Serve" student community empowerment program, "Alumni
Legacy Grants" which provide $1,000 scholarships annually to
students pursuing degrees in agricultural education and "Gift of
Blue" which provides funding for FFA members who might not
otherwise be able to afford their own jackets.
Tractor Supply has been a proud partner of FFA since 1985,
helping to raise over $12 million through various initiatives to
support its work preparing members for leadership and careers in
the science, business and technology of agriculture. Earlier this
summer, National FFA Organization announced it had reached a
milestone one million FFA members during the 2023-2024 school
year.
The 97th National FFA Convention & Expo will be held October
23-26 in Indianapolis, Indiana, and is one of the largest student
conventions in the world with a mission to develop, educate and
inspire. Members and alumni will gather and grow through workshops,
speakers, networking opportunities and more.
