Proceeds from limited-edition shirts benefit FFA chapters across the country

Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, announced today the launch of its 10^th annual National FFA T-shirt fundraiser. For a limited time, Tractor Supply customers in stores or online can purchase special-edition T-shirts designed to commemorate the 97^th National FFA Convention & Expo. Proceeds from the fundraiser are distributed to FFA chapters across the country, supporting programs and activities designed to grow the next generation of leaders who will change the world.

"For the past ten years, Tractor Supply has been honored to create our own National FFA Convention T-shirts that our customers eagerly anticipate every year," shared Kimberly Gardiner the chief marketing officer at Tractor Supply. “While the shirts commemorate this highly anticipated event, the fundraising component also enables FFA members, alumni and supporters to give back to this impactful organization. We are honored and excited to launch another year of FFA Convention T-shirts to outfit and support the next generation of leaders.”

FFA Convention T-shirts are now available for purchase at Tractor Supply stores nationwide and online at TractorSupply.com. Proceeds from the campaign benefit FFA programs including the "Living to Serve" student community empowerment program, "Alumni Legacy Grants" which provide $1,000 scholarships annually to students pursuing degrees in agricultural education and "Gift of Blue" which provides funding for FFA members who might not otherwise be able to afford their own jackets.

Tractor Supply has been a proud partner of FFA since 1985, helping to raise over $12 million through various initiatives to support its work preparing members for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture. Earlier this summer, National FFA Organization announced it had reached a milestone one million FFA members during the 2023-2024 school year.

The 97^th National FFA Convention & Expo will be held October 23-26 in Indianapolis, Indiana, and is one of the largest student conventions in the world with a mission to develop, educate and inspire. Members and alumni will gather and grow through workshops, speakers, networking opportunities and more.
