CELL PHONES FOR SOLDIERS TO TURN DONATED PHONES INTO
12 MILLION CALLING CARD MINUTES FOR U.S. TROOPS THIS YEAR

DEXTER, Mich. - 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 this year. To do so, Cell Phones for
Soldiers expects to collect over 50,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 6,000
collection sites across the country. The phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for
Soldiers for the phones.
"Americans will replace an estimated 150 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 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has raised
millions of dollars in donations and distributed millions of prepaid calling cards to troops 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 $10 million in the
next five years to fund new programs, such as providing video phones and prepaid service to allow
soldiers abroad to see their families on a regular basis.

across the country. Approximately half of the phones ReCellular processes are reconditioned and resold
to wholesale companies in over 40 countries around the world. Handsets and components that cannot be
refurbished are dismantled and recycled to reclaim valuable materials.
This year, ReCellular expects to recycle 1 million pounds of scrap phones and accessories. ReCellular
works with recycling partners to reclaim materials from every component that is donated, including:
? Gold, silver and platinum from circuit boards
? Copper wiring from phone chargers
? Nickel, iron, cadmium and lead from battery packs
? Plastic from phone cases and accessories
? Paper and cardboard from shipping materials used for donations
ReCellular has supported more than 2000 national and local charities since pioneering the Charity
Cell Phone Donation Program. This year, ReCellular expects to raise $4 million for charities such as
Cell Phones for Soldiers.
"One of the founding principles of ReCellular is to build a successful business that is both socially and
environmentally responsible," says Newman. "It is a great honor and privilege to support such a worthy
and inspiring effort as the Bergquists' Cell Phones for Soldiers."
