Bert Morgan, owner of BLM Productions, is a proud member of Rolling Thunder ® Chapter 3, Virginia since 2008, and is dedicated in supporting our veterans both at home and abroad.

“We are continuously overwhelmed by the enthusiastic support of thousands of Americans who have

helped our troops speak with their loved ones,” says the teens’ father, Bob Bergquist. “However, the need

for support keeps growing as more troops are sent to the Middle East or are asked to serve extended

tours of duty.”

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 troops abroad to see their families on a regular basis.

 

The donated phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each phone – the

money is used to purchase prepaid calling cards which are sent to troops.

Approximately half of the phones ReCellular processes are reconditioned and resold to wholesale

companies in over 40 countries around the world.

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.

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.
