and Choice Cellular join forces to turn old cell phones
into dollars that will benefit Florida’s hurricane
relief efforts.
Ocala
and Oldsmar, FL (PRWEB) September 3, 2004 -- Two Florida
companies, Choice Cellular of Tampa Bay and http://www.CellForCash.com
of Ocala, announced today they have joined forces to turn
old cell phones into cash that will be used to benefit the
victims of Hurricane Charley.
People
may donate their old, unused cell phones at any one of Choice
Cellular’s locations (or at its affiliate Advanced
Wireless stores) in Tampa Bay, Clearwater, Orlando, Pasco
County and elsewhere. CellForCash.com has agreed to purchase
any and all of the phones that are collected. Then, Choice
Cellular will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to the
Hurricane Charley Relief Fund, established by Florida Gov.
Jeb Bush.
This
fund will be used for needs unmet by other disaster relief
organizations also working to help rebuild lives and communities
in the wake of Hurricane Charley, which swept across 25
Florida counties on August 13, killing 27 people and causing
billions of dollars in damage.
“We
were very fortunate, we could have been in the same position
as many of our neighbors,” said Garrett Bell, district
manager of Choice Cellular, which is headquartered in Oldsmar.
“We are only doing what our neighbors would do for
us.”
“As
the storm approached we thought we were going to get hit
hard,” said James Mosieur, CellForCash.com’s
chief executive officer. “When it suddenly changed
direction, we were relieved but we still feared for our
friends and neighbors that were caught in the path.”
Bell
and Mosieur said they both realized their cell phone-related
companies were in a unique position to raise dollars for
the hurricane relief effort. Choice Cellular sells new cell
phones; http://www.CellForCash.com
buys old, unused cell phones for cash, refurbishes them,
and then re-sells them, often in foreign markets.
Because
of advances in technology, consumers and businesses retire
more than five million cell phones every month, Bell and
Mosieur said. Although many of them have value and could
be sold, the phones often end up in desk drawers or in landfills.
To
donate an old cell phone for the relief effort, drop by
any Choice Cellular store in Florida, or send cell phones
