Wes, the proud inventor behind the genius idea we all know as WesCup®, is a born-and-raised San Diegan with a big heart and even bigger ideas. Just like the WesCup itself, the possibilities in San Diego are endless, from the beaches to the boardwalks, there’s always something happening, and Wes loves being part of it all.
Over the years, Wes has turned his passion for innovation and community into action. From local farmers markets and college entrepreneurship events to charity fundraisers and spontaneous street interviews along Mission Beach, Wes is constantly finding creative ways to connect people to his product and his purpose. Whether it’s running community pickleball games, opening new convenience store displays, or making viral videos on social media — WesCup is all about bringing people together and changing the drinking experience forever!
This November: WesCup x The Teddy Ball
One of Wes’s favorites is The Teddy Ball, a black-tie charity gala hosted by Cruise 4 Kids. The annual event collects thousands of teddy bears for children in need — and WesCup is honored to be a sponsor for the third year in a row!
The Teddy Ball brings San Diego’s community together for a night of celebration, generosity, and a great time, all while supporting local children’s charities. Guests are encouraged to bring a new stuffed teddy bear, which will be donated to hospitals, orphanages, and special programs across the region. It’s a powerful reminder that even the smallest gestures (or bears!) can make a huge difference.
Wes looks forward to be interviewed on live TV at the event about WesCup’s success, progress, and challenges — with the WesCup logo proudly shining on the sponsor wall behind him on the red carpet. This year, he’s back again and more excited than ever to continue supporting such a meaningful cause.
