On Tuesday, I was grateful to attend the 16th Annual Missouri 4-H Foundation’s Clover Classic Golf Tournament. The annual fundraiser benefits Missouri 4-H and their important work developing citizenship, leadership and life skills for the next generation.

This year’s tournament raised an incredible $80,000 thanks to the many generous participants, sponsors and donors. Since its inception, the tournament has raised more than $870,000 to support youth initiatives and hands-on programs, including many in agriculture. Founded in 1949, the Missouri 4-H Foundation helps maximize the reach and impact of Missouri 4-H, a part of MU Extension, throughout the state. 

We’re also proud to host the tournament at the Gustin Golf Course, Mizzou’s championship, 18-hole course that showcases 127 acres of natural prairie. It was great to come together as a community to show support for Missouri 4-H’s mission.

Thank you to all this year’s participants and to the Missouri 4-H Foundation for making a difference for more than 62,000 4-H youth across Missouri.
