The "fund-raiser" has been held in Sullivan County for over 20 years. It's purpose is to make 4-H free for children who want to be in 4-H programs. It also helps reduces the counties share for the programs. All the books are donated and when selling the books they ask for donations and not certain prices for the books. This seems to work out great for the group. The Sullivan County Scholarship Fund was created by Alton Taylor to benefit graduating high school seniors of Sullivan County School District.
