Clover Ball 2022

Wow, we had a great 4th annual Clover Ball in Tucson this year. The Clover Ball kicks off our AZ 4-H Summit for our teen 4-H youth who get to spend a week at the University of Arizona campus with a focus around one of our Great 8 programs. Those of you who were 4-Hers in the 70’s and 80’s will remember this event as “Arizona Round-up”.

This year we focused on One Health. Thanks to a generous grant from the Arizona Department of Health Services, 4-H youth learned about being healthy themselves, having healthy animals and the importance of a healthy environment.

Thanks to our Key Partner, the Arizona Farm Bureau Federation and our table sponsors:

  • Bayer Crop Science

  • Hughes Federal Credit Union

  • Bingham Equipment Company

  • Capstone Copper

We also appreciate the Dairy Council of Arizona and TRICO for their support. These organizations and companies made this experience low cost for youth to attend. Thank you!  Your passion to support our outstanding youth in the 4-H program is amazing and we appreciate you.

A special thanks to Rovey Farms for their donation of a 44-pound box of Wagyu cuts. Thank you, Paul and Deb. Lucky winner, Luis Agular-Chavez from Douglas was drawn out of the bowl and he can’t wait to heat up the grill!! Yummy.
