Blue Moon LWR Invites Fans To Donate Cell Phones At Auto Club Speedway To Help US Troops and Their Families Loganville, Georgia: When you come to the Suzuki AMA Pro SuperBike Challenge at Auto Club Speedway this weekend, be sure to bring your old or unused cell phones to donate for the benefit of US soldiers and their families. The Liberty Waves Race Team is collecting phones as part of their partnership with Liberty Tax Service and the Cell Phones for Soldiers Program. Cell phones can be deposited in a special drop box at the team’s garage in the race paddock. In completing plastic phone mailer envelopes, donations are tax deductible and enable Cell Phones for Soldiers to distribute complimentary calling cards to deployed troops and their families to stay connected. About Cell Phones for Soldiers Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded in 2004 by brother and sister Robbie and Brittany Bergquist, ages 12 and 13 at the time. To date, they have provided more than 62 million minutes of free calling cards thanks to a national network of individual and corporate supporters donating phones and money. The program serves the 200,000+ U.S. troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan and the challenges they face in communicating with loved ones back home. Cell Phones For Soldiers collects old, unused cell phones and sends them to recycling centers where recyclable materials are stripped and hazardous materials are responsibly discarded. There are more than 130 million used phones retired every year in the United States. Though each phone on its own may not pose much of an environmental risk, the cumulative impact is significant. Those 130 million phones contain more than 16 million pounds of hazardous waste and only a small percentage are recycled. http://www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com/index.html About Liberty Tax Service and Liberty Waves Racing Liberty Tax Service has been the National Premier Partner for Cell Phones for Soldiers since its inception.
