The DBJ’s Business of the Year Awards program has celebrated the region’s best in business for 25 years. The 2026 event was held on Nov. 12 at the Schuster Center in downtown Dayton.

As Community Supporter of the Year, Winsupply Inc. each year donates to scores of charities in the Dayton region and Greater United States. The company also supports career tech programs at several local colleges and high schools. As well, Winsupply sponsors The Entrepreneurs’ Center and Launch Dayton, two groups that align with Winsupply’s mission of supporting entrepreneurs.

“Winsupply cannot be what it is without the support and infrastructure of the Dayton community,” said Todd Gossett, President, Winsupply Equity Group. “We’re tremendously proud of what we can do to support the community, and what we will continue to do for a long time.”

They do the heavy lifting. They have the grit. They build relationships and trust. This is what defines Winsupply.”
