Cell Phones for Soldiers Announces 2011 Goal
Cell Phones for Soldiers recently announced its commitment to provide 750,000 communication tools
in 2011 to troops stationed around the world, fulfilling a financial and emotional need of deployed armed forces.
To
reach this goal, Cell Phones for Soldiers needs your help. The charity is calling on individuals and organizations to sponsor
free phone calls home through cash donations and the donation of used cellular phones. Every dollar raised and cellular phone
received will provide that precious connection to family for service men and women.
Proceeds raised from donations
are used to purchase pre-paid international calling cards for troops around the world as well as fund new communication programs
for troops in need.
The average roaming fees from Afghanistan are $3.99 a minute, making a call home a rarity for many
military professionals. Help connect military families, donate today.

Cell Phones for Soldiers was created by Brittany & Robbie Bergquist of Norwell
MA. After reading a story about a soldier who ran up a huge phone bill calling home from Iraq, these two teenagers decided
to help out. They started by opening an account with $21.00 of their own money. They are collecting cash donations and old
cell phones. The cell phones are recycled for cash and the proceeds are used to buy prepaid calling cards for our soldiers
serving in the Middle East. Cell Phones For Soldiers is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Their efforts have
motivated people and businesses around the country to donate to this worthy cause. Their goal is to provide US soldiers
with a way to call home for free. For more information, please visit there website @ www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com Phone:
