White Cap and DEWALT partner to support St. Jude
White Cap, a distributor of specialty construction supplies and safety products for professional contractors, and DEWALT, a Stanley Black & Decker brand and leader in total jobsite solutions, have announced a charitable partnership to support the mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.
On June 25 at Nashville Superspeedway, the No. 20 DEWALT car, co-branded with White Cap, be given special dedication to St. Jude and a $100,000 donation to benefit St. Jude families will be presented. Donations like this mean that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food so they can focus on helping their child live.
With the help of Joe Gibbs Racing, No. 20 racecar driver Christopher Bell will be sporting a custom-made helmet inspired by artwork created by St. Jude patients. In addition, White Cap and DEWALT will be inviting the family of a St. Jude patient to be special guests at the race.
In lead-up to the race, a portion of the purchase price of select DEWALT products at all U.S. White Cap branches will be donated to benefit St. Jude during the month of May. Details about this promotion can be found at any White Cap branch.
"White Cap's long-standing support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and DEWALT's mutual passion for this cause, is what brought us together to fundraise and promote the mission of St. Jude through a special event on June 25 at Nashville Superspeedway," said John Stegeman, chief executive officer, White Cap. "We are proud to make a difference for St. Jude with our supplier partner DEWALT."
