Dear 4-H Family,
We hope you will join us on May 19-20 when California 4-H launches our independent statewide giving day! We call it UC ANR Giving Day—a day to give back and support the programs you care about. We invite you to support our mission to provide meaningful opportunities for all youth and adults to work together to create sustainable community change. By donating to California 4-H you help youth develop confidence and commitment through hands-on learning opportunities–empowering youth with leadership skills for a lifetime. Join us from noon to noon and be the first to give—or visit us anytime during the 24-hour giving day. Make your gift then share your support on social media using #GivingDay or call a friend to let them know what’s happening.
