Honoring a legacy and inspiring the future
A century ago, visionary leaders believed in the power of 4-H to build healthy, resilient youth and, through them, vibrant communities and strong families. That vision remains true.
We invite you to continue this legacy of transformation
The 4-H state fair experience is about so much more than awards. It encompasses many moments that help youth grow.
Just as 4-H emphasizes the importance of community — youth serving their communities and communities supporting youth — this campaign is a community effort.
We need your help to spread the word of what this building means and to raise the funds necessary to support 4-H into the future.

Use our elevator pitch: Need a starting point? Use our elevator pitch when explaining the project.
For generations, the 4-H Building is where it all clicked for 4-H'ers: the moment they showed a project, held a ribbon and realized they were capable of more than they imagined, surrounded by people who believed in them. The magic hasn't changed, but the building needs to. Today's 4‑H'ers are building robots, launching businesses and solving real-world problems the people who built the 4-H Building couldn't have imagined. They deserve a space that matches their ambition. This renovation, shaped by input from our 4-H community, honors beloved traditions while creating room for new ones, preserving what makes 4-H unforgettable for generations to come.
