10th Annual ‘Help Local Kids Thrive’ Fundraiser
February 10 - March 3
Every year, over three million young people are served by Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. 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 with a three-week program called, “Help Local Kids Thrive.”
Beginning February 10, customers in Eureka can make a monetary contribution at their local Ross Dress for Less (“Ross”) store during checkout to be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods, through March 3. Ross will match the first $400,000 raised!
“This year is special. It marks our 10th annual in-store fundraiser to benefit local Boys & Girls Clubs. The funds raised will directly help kids at Clubs nationwide by supporting Power Hour, a homework tutoring program, nationally sponsored by Ross. We are proud of our strong, long-standing partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs and look forward to coming together with our customers and associates to ‘Help Local Kids Thrive,’” 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 helps to actualize the dreams of many local kids and teens. “Our local Ross Store, managed by Caprice Stowe, has been amazing to work with. As the associates ask customers to donate at their registers, 80% of the donation stays locally to support youth at the Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods. We are extremely grateful for our partnership and our community for supporting our Power Hour program,” said Monica Rose, Executive Director, Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods.
