ATLANTA, May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- White Cap, a distributor of specialty construction supplies and safety products for professional contractors, and DEWALT^®, a Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) brand and leader in total jobsite solutions, today announced a charitable partnership to support the critical mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital^®: Finding cures.

On June 25 at Nashville Superspeedway, there will be a special dedication to St. Jude on the No. 20 DEWALT car, co-branded with White Cap, along with a special presentation of a $100,000 donation to benefit St. Jude families.
