Today is the day to Stand Up & Holler for UF and Florida 4-H! It’s UF Giving Day!
Giving Day is an annual event that involves everyone in a one-day fundraising effort to support their favorite UF programs! For me, that’s the 4-H Camps – Camp Cherry Lake, Camp Cloverleaf, and Camp Timpoochee.
We’re asking each of you to give towards 4-H today. It could be just a few dollars or more but it’s just as important for us, the youth, to contribute. These are our camps, our clubs, and our members that benefit from it.
So I challenge each and every Florida 4-H member to give a little today to support Florida 4-H.
