Kicking off Feb. 8, the three-week program, "Open the Door to Great Futures," invites shoppers at seven Inland Empire Ross stores to make a monetary contribution at checkout, with 100 percent of the donations benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs Power Hour program, which provides an environment for members to complete their homework and receive tutoring after school. “Ross is committed to supporting the youth in the communities we serve,” said Gary Cribb, executive vice president, Stores and Loss Prevention for Ross Stores, Inc. “We invite our customers to join us in donating...to help youth develop the study skills they need to excel in their studies and beyond.” P.T.
