Wesco Donations -
Through their ongoing partnership with Pepsi, Wesco is excited to share that—for the third consecutive year—$20,000 in fountain drink profits will be donated to local public high schools.
Throughout the month of December, every Wesco location will donate five cents from each fountain drink sold until the full $20,000 goal is reached. Every participating public high school is guaranteed a minimum of $100 (Northwest is one of those schools), with the remaining funds distributed based on sales at each local store.
