ROSS DRESS FOR LESS HOLDS IN-STORE FUNDRAISER TO HELP LOCAL OWENSBORO KIDS SUCCEED IN SCHOOL
12th Annual Event Being Held February 7th Through March 1st to Support Homework Help Program at Cliff Hagan Boys & Girls Club Mike Horn Unit
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 (BGCA) for its 12th annual “Help Local Kids Succeed in School” fundraiser.
From February 7 through March 1, Customers in Owensboro can donate at checkout in their local Ross Dress for Less Store to benefit the Cliff Hagan Boys & Girls Club Mike Horn Unit. 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.
To amplify the impact, the Ross Stores Foundation will match donations, up to $500,000, building on the company’s year-round support of BGCA and its mission to help young people reach their full potential.
“Ross is proud to host 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 & Loss Prevention, Ross Stores.
America 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 in school for local kids and teens – building confidence, skills, and great future leaders.
