Tractor Supply launches FFA t-shirt fundraiser

Tractor Supply Company has launched its ninth annual National Future Farmers of America Organization (FFA) T-shirt fundraiser. 

For a limited time, customers can purchase special-edition FFA T-shirts exclusively at Tractor Supply stores nationwide and online to support FFA and its ongoing commitment to the future of agriculture. 

Campaign proceeds will be distributed to FFA chapters across the country, funding agricultural programs and activities for students and alumni in support of future leaders at the National FFA Convention & Expo, to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, Nov. 1-4.

The T-shirt fundraiser has generated nearly $2.2 million in sales since the program’s inception in 2015, with 2022 marking the highest T-shirt sales to date at $412,812. Tractor Supply also proudly supports FFA and its mission through multiple annual fundraising events, such as Grants for Growing, and many activities at the local level.

"We are immensely proud to announce our partnership with FFA in this year's T-shirt campaign,” said Kimberley Gardiner, chief marketing officer of Tractor Supply. "Each shirt sold is a symbol of our long-standing commitment to empowering the future of agriculture. With every purchase, we are not only supporting FFA but also investing in the dreams and aspirations of future leaders in our community.”

The campaign will benefit four FFA programs: the "Living to Serve" student community empowerment program, "Alumni Legacy Grants" which provide $1,000 scholarships annually to students pursuing degrees in agricultural education, "New Farmers of America Archives" aimed at promoting inclusivity and accommodating students of all races and backgrounds, and "Gift of Blue" which provides funding for FFA members who might not otherwise be able to afford their own jackets.
