💚 "I learned that you can make a difference at 15."

That's the power of Ignite by 4-H. Oregon youth return home with greater confidence, leadership skills, and a vision for how they can improve their communities.

Help more young people experience this life-changing opportunity through Clovers for a Cause.

Update #2: Are you going to the BHS Football game tomorrow? I will have checks at the Friday, October 9, Burns High School football game from 6 p.m. through the end of the game. I will be located at the top of the bleachers on the SW side of the announcer’s stand. Don't forget thank you notes!

Update: The courthouse will be closing at 3pm tomorrow, so you will not be able to pick up your checks after 3pm.

However, I will bring them to the Burns Football Game and you can get them beginning at 6pm, above the bleachers on the SW side of the announcers stand.

Don't forget to bring, or send me a photo (541-589-2222) of your thank you notes!
