Saving children."

On Sunday, October 5, at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, the #20 DEWALT car will include a special dedication to St. Jude, co-branded with White Cap. This is in honor of a $175,000 combined donation from DEWALT and White Cap to be presented to St. Jude at the race.
DEWALT will donate another $25,000 through the purchase of select DEWALT products at participating White Cap branches during the month of October.
As part of this special dedication made possible by Joe Gibbs Racing, the #20 car driven by Christopher Bell will feature art created by St. Jude patient Cameron. Over the summer, Cameron collaborated with the Joe Gibbs Racing design team during a special brainstorming session to bring his vision to life. He and his family will be honored guests at the October 5 race.
''For the third consecutive year, we are pleased to join forces with DEWALT in support of the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital," said Alan Sollenberger, CEO of White Cap. ''Each year, this collaboration grows, through generous donations and creative activations, to raise awareness and funding for a lifesaving cause. We're extremely proud to play a part in helping St. Jude advance research and treatment to help children everywhere with cancer and other life-threatening diseases."
"DEWALT is proud to join forces with White Cap and Joe Gibbs Racing once again in support of St. Jude's lifesaving mission to fight childhood cancer," said Maria Ford, President, U.S. Commercial & Industrial Sales, Stanley Black & Decker. "Seeing Cameron's design come to life on the #20 DEWALT car is a powerful reminder of the hope, creativity and resilience of every child and family on this journey. Together, we're committed to helping St. Jude provide the care and strength they deserve."
"We are deeply grateful to White Cap, DEWALT, and Joe Gibbs Racing for bringing patient art to life in such an imaginative way as part of their third year supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude," said Ike Anand, President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "Giving back can take many beautiful forms and giving St. Jude patients like Cameron a way to share art in fun and exciting ways like this is truly inspiring. Thanks to the generosity shown through events like this, St. Jude can advance research and treatment for the estimated 400,000 children worldwide who develop cancer each year."
