ROSS DRESS FOR LESS® HOLDS IN-STORE FUNDRAISER TO HELP LOCAL KIDS THRIVE ON THE CENTRAL COAST

Every year, more than two thousand young people are served by Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast across the Central Coast region. To show their continued support in preparing today’s youth for a brighter tomorrow, Ross Stores, Inc. is partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America for the 11th annual three-week in-Store “Help Local Kids Thrive” fundraiser. Beginning February 8 through March 2, Customers in Santa Maria and Paso Robles can donate to Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast during checkout at their local Ross Dress for Less (“Ross”) Store. 

The Ross Stores Foundation will match donations, up to $500,000 nationally, in addition to support that Ross provides Boys & Girls Clubs throughout the year. Customers’ donations will go toward the Club’s Power Hour program, providing homework help and academic resources to Club youth in all of the local Clubs between Guadalupe and Shandon and across the country.

“Ross is proud of our long-standing partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs, and we are excited to host our 11th annual in-Store fundraiser to ‘Help Local Kids Thrive.’ Each year, Ross Stores, the Ross Stores Foundation, our Associates, and our generous Customers join forces to raise funds for Clubs nationwide and their Power Hour homework help program. Together, we are committed to providing kids in communities across the country with the academic support they need to achieve big goals,” said Matt Young, Group Senior Vice President, Ross Stores.

Rooted in a shared commitment to help young people reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens, this annual fundraiser ensures local kids and teens have the resources to succeed in school and turn those academic achievements into great futures.
