White Cap, a leading distributor of specialty construction supplies and safety products for professional contractors, and DEWALT®, a Stanley Black & Decker brand and leader in jobsite solutions, are proud to announce their second annual partnership in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® and its mission: Finding cures. Saving children®.
On Saturday, September 21, the #20 DEWALT racecar at the Bristol Motor Speedway will feature a special co-branded dedication to St. Jude and White Cap. This is in honor of a $175,000 donation from DEWALT, which will be presented by DEWALT and White Cap during the race.
Additionally, DEWALT will contribute another $25,000 through purchases of select DEWALT products at participating White Cap locations. Details on this promotion are available online.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to emphasize the ongoing research needed to combat pediatric cancer. White Cap and DEWALT are proud to have doubled their total donation from last year, reinforcing their commitment to St. Jude’s goal of ensuring no child dies from cancer.
As part of this event, made possible by Joe Gibbs Racing, the #20 racecar, driven by Christopher Bell, will showcase artwork created by St. Jude patients Levi and Colton. Two St. Jude patient families will be honored guests at the September 21 race.
“We’re honored to join DEWALT in raising funds and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said Alan Sollenberger, CEO of White Cap. “Since 1962, St. Jude has increased the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent, and we’re proud to support their mission of reaching a 100 percent survival rate for all children.”
Maria Ford, President, Commercial & Industrial at Stanley Black & Decker, added, “In collaboration with White Cap, DEWALT proudly supports St. Jude’s efforts to treat pediatric illnesses. It’s a privilege to contribute to St. Jude’s lifesaving research and care for children and their families.”
Richard C. Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising organization for St. Jude, expressed gratitude, saying, “We deeply appreciate the unwavering commitment of White Cap, DEWALT, and Joe Gibbs Racing. Their support fuels St. Jude’s innovative research and ensures that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus on their child’s recovery.”
