Recycle Cell Phones to Help Families Battling Cancer
For 20 years IT and sustainability leaders have sent their retired phones to Cells for Cells instead of back to the carrier who really doesn't care about fighting cancer. Together they've helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for families battling cancer. Many of them reached out because cancer had already touched someone they loved. It won't change the world. It changes one life at a time, maybe a coworker's, a neighbor's, someone at your church, or someone in your own family. Your shipping label is free. All we ask is the phones.

KCTV5 shared the story of Cells for Cells and the reason it began.
I lost my grandfather to cancer. I saw what that fight takes from a person and from the family standing beside him, and I wanted to do something that would help other families going through it. That is why, 20 years ago, I started Cells for Cells.
I knew firsthand how rough cancer is, so I wanted every phone we recycle to benefit a cancer charity.
The idea was simple: companies have old phones, and those phones can still do some good. Every box of phones that comes to me is a reminder of him and of the families still in that fight. Thank you for helping me keep doing this work in his memory.
