Ross and Lake Tahoe Boys & Girls Club team up

South Lake Tahoe, Calif. – Starting February 4, customers at the Ross Dress for Less store in South Lake Tahoe can support the local Boys & Girls Club by making a monetary donation at the checkout counter during the month of February.

Every year, nearly four million young people are served by Boys & Girls Clubs. To celebrate these extraordinary efforts, Ross Stores, Inc. announced that it is partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America with a four-week program called, “Help Local Kids Learn.”

“In February, we invite our customers to join us in donating to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America,” said Gary Cribb, Executive Vice President, Stores and Loss Prevention for Ross Stores, Inc. “Our company believes in giving back to our community, and we are proud to support the Power Hour program to help youth develop the skills they need to excel in school and beyond.”

“Our local Ross has been helping the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe fund a safe and fun environment for all of the children in South Lake Tahoe for many years," said Kili Ongoy, Development Coordinator for BGCLT. "The Ross Cause Campaign is an east way to donate to a great organization in this town and we are thankful for this opportunity to raise vital funding for our kids.”

100 percent of the proceeds raised at each store will benefit their local clubs.

A $3 donation helps provide one hour of homework help for a Club youth. $15 helps keep a kid safe after school for a day.
