The IDEAL Electrical and IDEAL Industries, Inc. Sycamore, Illinois campus started a tradition of honoring a “Day of Kindness” each August. This event celebrated the birthday and legacy of our founder, J. Walter Becker, who was known for his acts of kindness and service to others. IDEAL Industries, Inc. is broadening this initiative in 2025 with a global, enterprise-wide celebration of “Month of Kindness” taking place this month.
What is J. Walter Becker Month of Kindness?
Kindness Month celebrates the legacy of our founder, J. Walter Becker, who centered his life around demonstrating kindness in all areas within his community. To honor him, we carry on his philosophy throughout August by participating in dedicated events that leave a lasting positive impact.
Treat Everyone with Kindness is one of our five core values at IDEAL Industries, Inc. This new month-long celebration represents our commitment to prioritizing kindness globally not only in August, but year-round.
