In-store fundraiser invites customers to support youth programs and build brighter futures
ROCKWALL, TX (Feb. 4, 2026) — Ross Dress for Less is once again investing in brighter futures by partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Texas through its annual Help Local Kids Succeed in-store fundraising campaign.
From Saturday, February 7 through Sunday, March 1, 2026, Ross customers are invited to support local youth at checkout by donating to Boys & Girls Clubs. Donations made in participating stores directly benefit Power Hour, a nationally recognized homework help and academic support program that helps young people build confidence, improve grades, anddevelop essential life skills.
As part of the campaign, Ross will match customer donations at the register, up to a total of $500,000 nationwide. Last year alone, the fundraiser raised more than $4 million in stores, with 80 percent of every dollar staying with each store’s nearest Boys & Girls Club—making a
powerful local impact.
“Partnerships like this allow us to meet kids where they are and provide consistent academic support during critical after-school hours,” said a representative from Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Texas. “We are incredibly grateful to Ross and their customers for investing in the
success of young people in our community.”
How the Campaign Works
Each Ross Dress for Less store is matched with its closest local Boys & Girls Club. Customers can:
• Round up their purchase to the nearest dollar
• Donate $1, $2, $5, or another amount at checkout
Every donation supports local youth right in the community where it’s given.
