No, they are not. The 4-H office does encourage all Pinellas County 4-H members, volunteers, and parents to participate in fundraisers coordinated by the
Pinellas County 4-H Foundation, such as the apple and pecan sale every September. A portion of the proceeds is returned to the club. The rest goes to the Pinellas County 4-H Foundation. The Foundation then uses those funds for scholarships to 4-H activities such as camp and competitive events.
