JOANN 4-H Partnership Continues
Happily, JOANN has renewed their partnership with 4-H for another three years! Please mark your calendars to schedule some social media posts to promote the upcoming JOANN Point of Sale Campaign.
JOANN Point of Sale Campaign
March 3- May 4, 2024
During the two-month promotional timeframe, customers can donate or round-up at checkout in JOANN stores to support 4-H.
The JOANN campaign relies on consumer donations, so the more you can help drive people to JOANN stores, the more California 4-H will earn! Funds raised through JOANN supports the State Fashion Revue contest at State Field Day. A social media toolkit will be shared on the Resource Center soon.
All JOANN stores will also receive a Team Member box with information about 4-H and our partnership along with materials to encourage store engagement.
Connect with your local JOANN store
We don't usually host a booth in JOANN stores like in Tractor Supply, but we encourage you to contact your local JOANN store to see if there is anything we could do to support the campaign in their store. Please see the JOANN Store listing for your reference.
