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.
