Old Cell Phones Can Be Turned into Cash to Help Victims of Hurricane Katrina
CellForCash.com will give customers the choice of earmarking the proceeds of their old cell phone sales to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
OCALA, Fla. (PRWEB) September 2, 2005 -- CellForCash.com, a website that pays
cash for old cell phones, announced today it will give customers the option of
sending 100 percent of the proceeds of their cell phone sales to help victims of
Hurricane Katrina.
In addition, the company said it would add $1.00 to
the value of every handset when the proceeds are directed to the CellForCash.com
Hurricane Relief Fund.
“CellForCash.com did something similar a year ago
to encourage donations for the victims of Hurricane Charley,” said James
Mosieur, chief executive officer of RMS Communications Group Inc., the parent
company of CellForCash.com. “We were pleased to be able to help out then, and of
course we are happy to be able to get involved now.”
Under the program,
all proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross. The Hurricane Relief
Program will remain in effect until further notice.
To participate in the
CellForCash.com effort, simply visit www.CellForCash.com, and click on the Hurricane Relief Program
icon.
The money will help rebuild lives and communities in the wake of
Hurricane Katrina, which swept ashore from the Gulf of Mexico, killing and
injuring scores of people in Louisiana and Mississippi and causing billions of
dollars in damage.
The CellForCash.com effort could raise significant
dollars for Hurricane Katrina victims. CellForCash.com pays anywhere from a few
dollars to well over $100 for the old cell phones that are listed on the
CellForCash.com website.
Besides www.CellForCash.com, RMS operates a number of other web sites.
One, www.WirelessFundraiser.com, provides cash to non-profit
organizations that collect and send in old cell phones. Another, www.RecycleForUS.com, is an
environmental initiative that helps companies, government agencies and other
groups and individuals collect and recycle old cell phones.
The company
also operates the 911 Cell Phone Bank program, through which it donates more
than 1,000 cell phones every month to law enforcement and other agencies for use
as 911 emergency phones.
