Special Announcement: The 2024 Legacy Dinner and Auction is scheduled for June 13 in the Ed Sands/Farm Bureau Building on the Fairfield County Fairgrounds.
* Details about how you can participate in the 2024 4-H Legacy Dinner and Auction as a sponsor, auction donor, or simply by attending will be shared soon!
The Fairfield County 4-H Youth Development program strives to teach leadership, citizenship and life skills to approximately 1200 traditional 4-H club members each year. While most of these young people participate in the traditional 4-H club experiences, an additional 1,800 youth are exposed to 4-H work through school enrichment programs. And children who are not yet 4-H age can participate in a non-competing, activity based curriculum known as the Cloverbud program. In addition, the 4-H Youth Development program also creates training and leadership opportunities for nearly 250 4-H advisors in our county.
While dollars to support the 4-H Youth Development program are received cooperatively through Federal, State and County funding, several years ago friends and former 4-Hers met to begin what is now known as the Fairfield County 4-H Endowment. The mission of this Endowment and the Board who manage it is to raise awareness and dollars for long term investment in the 4-H program. Our hope is to leave a Legacy for 4-Hers for generations to come.
Our major fundraiser each year is the Legacy Dinner. The event typically begins with a social hour and silent auction, followed by dinner and a program/live auction. The entire evening is dedicated to the benefit of the Fairfield County 4-H Endowment while you will enjoy great food and fellowship with other supporters of our county’s 4-H program.
We invite you to help us leave a legacy by simply attending, donating items for the silent/live auction or sponsoring the event.
If you have questions, or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the 4-H Endowment Board. Please find linked below, very soon, the various forms that allow you to order your tickets, or to commit to one of the other forms of sponsorship.
Thank you,
The Fairfield County 4-H Endowment Board
