PITTSBURGH, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wesco hosted its annual Day of Caring events for employees at locations around the globe, reinforcing the company's commitment to giving back to the communities where employees live and work.

Wesco's Day of Caring events provide employees with opportunities to connect with local nonprofit organizations, participate in volunteer activities, and learn more about ways to give back through the company's Wesco Cares program. These efforts include matching gifts, paid volunteer time off, and support for organizations such as the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and other community partners focused on humanitarian aid, affordable housing and education.

This year's global activities, held in June, included both in-person and virtual volunteer opportunities, as well as events across major Wesco locations, bringing employees together in support of local communities.

During the Day of Caring, Wesco also announced John C. Tieri, Account Executive, Electrical and Electronic Solutions, based in Carol Stream, Illinois, as the recipient of the 2026 Wesco Cares Champion of the Year Award.

The Wesco Cares Champion of the Year Award recognizes employees who demonstrate a strong commitment to making a positive impact beyond the workplace through volunteerism and community engagement.

As a volunteer firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), John C. Tieri dedicates significant personal time to serving his community, meeting the same training and certification requirements as full-time first responders while balancing his role at Wesco.

His service includes responding to emergencies, supporting his local fire district, and stepping in during critical situations when additional support is needed. According to his Fire Chief, John is an "exemplary firefighter/EMT and an outstanding person" who consistently goes above and beyond without seeking recognition.

As part of the recognition, John C. Tieri will receive a $2,500 award to donate to an eligible organization of his choice through the Wesco Cares giving platform.

"We are proud to recognize John as our 2026 Wesco Cares Champion of the Year," said Chris Wolf, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer and Wesco Cares Executive Sponsor. "His dedication to serving others, both in his community and at Wesco, reflects the spirit of giving back that defines our culture."

Wesco Cares supports employee-led giving and volunteerism through programs that empower employees to contribute their time, talent, and resources to causes that matter most to them. Through these efforts, Wesco continues to make a meaningful impact in communities around the world.
