The Duval County 4-H Foundation was created in 1973 to enhance existing 4-H programs and to initiate new and innovative projects in youth. Each year Duval County 4-H serves local youth through school enrichment, clubs, and summer camps. Through hands-on projects in subjects such as: horticulture, animal sciences, technology, public speaking, leadership, citizenship & volunteering, health, nutrition and home economics. Duval County 4-H Foundation raises funds to support these programs through individual and local business contributions, fundraisers, and grants. The Foundation members’ generosity is what makes 4-H programs successful.
We are grateful to the community for supporting the recent 4-H Dinner and Auction. The monies from this event go to support our local Duval County 4-H youth programs. Each year this event has gotten better and better. We raised more this year than any other year due to your support! There were wonderful items that were auctioned off, along with wagon rides to see the animals of Diamond D Ranch, good food, outdoor games, a live band, and bonfire with smores.
