Partnership HIGHLIGHT Mahalo Ross Stores and the Ross Stores Foundation!

Ross Stores and the Ross Stores Foundation are longtime partners of Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii and are national sponsors of Power Hour, our after-school homework help and learning program. This tutoring program targets members ages 7-17 with a goal to increase academic success to better prepare Club youth to enter workforce and higher education institutions with the skills to compete globally.

Every year, Ross holds a fundraiser that invites customers to donate at checkout to support their local Club’s Power Hour program. Ross matches these donations up to a total of $400,000. Over the past 6 years, thanks to the generosity of Ross customers and associates, Ross has donated nearly $100,000 annually to support the Power Hour program.

Ross has also worked tirelessly to establish strong connections between its stores and local Clubs to support kids in the community. Over the past 4 years Ross associates have collected and personally donated toys during the Holiday Season. Every December, the Ross management team visits Club sites and distributes beautifully wrapped gifts to hundreds of very deserving keiki. In total, Ross associates and customers have donated over 2,000 gifts.
