Full Story Here

Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to turn old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas. To do so, Cell Phones for Soldiers expects to collect 50,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country.

The phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad.

“Americans will replace an estimated 130 million cell phones this year,” says Mike Newman, vice president of ReCellular, “with the majority of phones either discarded or stuffed in a drawer. Most people don’t realize that the small sacrifice of donating their unwanted phones can have a tremendous benefit for a worthy cause like Cell Phones for Soldiers.”



Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist from Norwell, Mass., with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $2 million in donations and distributed more than 500,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas.

“Cell Phones for Soldiers started as a small way to show our family’s appreciation for the men and women who have sacrificed the day-to-day contact with their own families to serve in the U.S. armed forces,” says the teens’ father, Bob Bergquist. “Over the past few years, we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of others. But, we have also seen the need to support our troops continue to grow as more troops are sent overseas for longer assignments.”

Through increased fundraising efforts, the Bergquist family hopes to raise more than $9 million in the next five years to fund new programs, such as providing video phones with prepaid service to allow soldiers abroad to see their families on a regular basis

Thanks for your help. The phones, working or non working are
sent to a recellular company the money from them goes to buying
phone cards so our troops can call home. It's an awesome program
started by 2 young kids - start digging out those old phones just
taking up space in your drawers and closets!!!

holy crap... Becky... I still have my phones sitting in the box. Post office closes at 4:30 here in town and I haven't gotten out of work before 5 for the past few weeks. I'm still going to send them, even if they wont enter me in the raffle.

Thank you everyone for sending the phones, everyone will get a surprise from me, but the big winner is.........


01PEWTERZ28

Congrats Sean, I'm sure the girls will love it. Thank you again to everyone who sent phones, we collected nearly 100. Probably could have gone over if Spike would have sent his J/K it's a great cause and anytime someone sends me a phone, I'll send back a special "thank you" gift from me. So keep cleaning out those closets and junk drawers........send them to:

Becky...

you are going to hate me...

I still haven't gotten them sent out.

Works been unbelievable lately (notice the spans between my posting on here). I've still got the phones boxed up. I may have to see if I can get the baby sitter to drop them off at the post office later this week.
