As the 4-H professional in Hamilton County, I am happy to announce that the Hamilton County 4-H Community Fair is celebrating its 5th Anniversary at Stricker’s Grove this summer! Did you know that more than one out of every seven adults in the U.S. is a former 4-H member? Many top entertainers, athletes, business individuals and educators got their first start in 4-H. Some of these well-known 4-H alumni include: Former Vice President Al Gore, David Letterman, CNN’s Nancy Grace, popcorn entrepreneur Orville Redenbacher, entertainers like Faith Hill, Reba McEntire, and Julia Roberts; as well as former NFL football players Reggie White and Archie Manning.
In Hamilton County, 4-H is a dynamic program making a difference in the lives of many youth from the inner city to the rural farms. 4-H has a long history in Ohio, and it is more critical today than ever before as youth learn leadership, citizenship, and life skills and become independent, productive adults.
I know that you understand how important it is for us to invest in our young people so that they are able to reach their fullest potential. The 4-H Motto is “To Make the Best Better”. I am requesting that today, you invest in our Hamilton County youth and make a generous contribution to make the best better for our youth and fair, which is scheduled for July 15-18, 2015, at Stricker’s Grove in Crosby Township.
Your sponsorship will help defray the costs associated with the fair and support the important work of the Hamilton County 4-H Association, Inc. Most contributions to the Hamilton County 4-H Association are tax-deductible. (Check with your tax professional for full details.)
Please consider the Community Partner Donation Levels and determine how you would like to help. Once you determine how you would like to be recognized for supporting our youth, mail your donation to Hamilton County 4-H Association, Inc.. If you require an invoice, we will send one upon request.
We are hoping to line up the majority of our sponsors early so that we can do the best job possible promoting not only this year’s fair, but also the generous community organizations and businesses that join us as
sponsors. Please return your check with the sponsorship form by May 1, 2015.
Sincerely,
Hamilton County 4-H Association
