Raise Your Hand for Hawai‘i 4-H!

Raise Your Hand for Hawai‘i 4-H!

Love 4-H? Raise your hand! The National 4-H Council is sponsoring the “Raise Your Hand” campaign to champion each state’s 4-H program. It will run from April 1 through May 15 this year, and the three states that get the most hands raised will receive $20,000, $10,000, and $5,000 respectively. Best of all, this year the results are prorated by state population, so Hawai‘i has a fair shot at these awards!

Here’s all the information you need to help out the Hawaii 4-H Program in this effort:

  • Anyone 13 years or older can vote.
  • 4-H members, parents, staff, volunteers, supporters/donors, and anyone else who likes 4-H can vote.
  • A person can vote for Hawai‘i even if they live on the Mainland, so share electronically and through social media to all of your friends and ask for their help.

Here’s the link to make your vote count for Hawai‘i 4-H! The polls close on May 15 at 6:00 p.m. Hawai‘i Time.
