On June 20, Wesco hosted our annual Day of Caring to celebrate our commitment to the global communities where we live and work and to announce the inaugural Wesco Cares Champion of the Year. This award aims to spotlight team members who have demonstrated a commitment to making a positive impact beyond the workplace.
Dipal Pater, a Senior Strategic Account Manager from Wesco’s Carol Stream, Illinois facility, was named the first Wesco Cares Champion of the Year. Dipal is an active volunteer with several organizations, including the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois, the Electrical Association of Chicago (Women’s Division), the Electric Golf Club, Feed My Starving Children, and Habitat for Humanity. As the Wesco Cares Champion of the Year Award recipient, Dipal received a $2,500 award to donate to an eligible charity of her choice. Dipal has chosen to donate the award to the Electrical Association of Chicago - which holds a special place in her heart - for an education foundation scholarship.

Our 2024 Day of Caring events encouraged employees to give back to their communities and learn about local opportunities to do so. Employees learned more about Wesco’s matching gifts and paid volunteer time off programs, as well as corporate giving support of the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and other local charitable organizations. Events were hosted at numerous sites around the globe with nearly 4,000 employees and more than 50 nonprofit community partners in attendance.
We are thrilled to recognize Dipal as our inaugural Wesco Cares Champion of the Year. Her unwavering dedication and countless hours of volunteer work have truly made a difference and inspire us all to give back.
