As part of Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Ross Stores, Inc.’s continued partnership, the leading youth development organization and national retailer hosted their 9th annual in-store fundraiser from February 11th to March 5th, 2023 at all Ross Dress for Less (“Ross”) stores nationwide. All funds raised went directly to Boys & Girls Clubs of America to supports its Power Hour program, which provided after-school homework help and ensures greater academic success for youth across the country.

Ross customers were invited to take part in the fundraiser to support Power Hour at the local Club in their community, either by rounding up their purchase to the nearest dollar and donating the difference or making a donation of $1, $2, $5 or more. Donations made at the register were matched up to a total of $400,000, as one part of the Company’s and its Foundation’s annual contribution to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Ross Stores and Ross Stores Foundation have partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America for more than 15 years and, together with their generous customers and associates, they have donated more than $41 million dollars to support Clubs across the country. As the national sponsor of Power Hour, Ross Stores continues to support a vital program that encourages members to become self-directed learners while offering valuable support from trained, caring staff at their local Club.
