Hello [Name],
National 4-H Week is October 4–10, and I’m supporting UConn 4-H as it celebrates the young people, volunteers, families, and supporters who make 4-H possible across Connecticut.
UConn 4-H reaches more than 29,000 youth each year through clubs, afterschool programs, school enrichment, camps, special interest activities, and community-based programming. These experiences help young people build confidence, strengthen life skills, explore leadership, and discover new possibilities for their future.
I’m supporting UConn 4-H because [insert personal reason, connection, or story]. Gifts during National 4-H Week help provide volunteer and teen training, youth awards and recognition, statewide events, and national leadership experiences for teens.
If you’re able, I hope you’ll join me by making a gift of any size here:
