More than four million young people are served by Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide each year. To help prepare today’s youth for great futures, Ross Stores, Inc., the parent company of Ross Dress for Less, is teaming up with Boys & Girls Clubs of America for its 12th annual “Help Local Kids Succeed in School” fundraiser.
From February 7 through March 1, customers in Palm Beach County can donate at checkout in their local Ross Dress for Less Store to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. Every dollar raised supports Power Hour, the Club’s homework help and tutoring program, giving kids the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond.
“Ross is proud to hose our 12th annual in-store fundraiser for BGCA in February. The Ross Stores Foundation, our Associates, and our generous Customers join forces to raise funds for Clubs nationwide and help local kids succeed. The funds we raise support Power Hour, a homework help and academic support program that opens the door to better grades and brighter futures,” said Gary Cribb, Senior Group Executive Vice President of Stores and Loss Prevention, Ross Stores.
Palm Beach County needs Club kids, young people who are prepared to lead, and this annual fundraiser helps make that possible. By supporting Power Hour, Ross and its Customers are opening the door to success for local kids and teens — building confidence, skills, and great future leaders.
