Turning Your Recycled Phones into Life-Saving Support

by

At Cells for Cells, we believe that recycling should be more than just a process—it should be a purpose. Thank you for trusting us with your old cell phones, allowing us to do more than simply recycle them. Together, we are turning discarded devices into vital support for families who are facing unimaginable battles.

A Heart-Wrenching Story: The Desch Family

Today, I want to share a deeply emotional story that exemplifies why your choice of recycling partner truly matters. The Desch Family is going through a challenge that no family should ever have to face—both of their children are fighting for their lives. Their daughter, Leona, is bravely battling Leukemia, and the financial and emotional toll on this family is overwhelming.

Through your partnership with Cells for Cells, we are able to channel the recycling dollars from old, broken, or unused cell phones to families like the Desches. While recycling your devices may seem like a small act, it has a massive impact on the lives of those in need.

Why Recycle with Cells for Cells?

Unlike other companies that may resell devices for profit, at Cells for Cells, our primary focus is to provide real help to families in crisis. We’ve raised tens of thousands of dollars for cancer charities by recycling cell phones, and every device you recycle with us allows us to continue supporting families like the Desches.

If you’re a wireless manager or IT asset manager overseeing hundreds or thousands of devices, imagine the impact you can make by choosing to recycle with Cells for Cells. Not only will you ensure that your devices are responsibly and ethically recycled, but you’ll also be directly contributing to a cause that truly makes a difference.

Staying Strong in Difficult Times: Advice from Gary Vaynerchuk

by

In a candid interview with Jason from Cells for Cells, the renowned entrepreneur and motivational speaker, Gary Vaynerchuk, shares his insights on how to stay strong during challenging times. While Gary acknowledges that it’s not his place to advise someone dealing with a seriously ill family member, he offers valuable wisdom for navigating other difficult situations.

A Message of Empowerment

Gary emphasizes the importance of not wasting time and avoiding dwelling on negativity. He believes that dwelling doesn’t provide any solutions and only prolongs the pain. Instead, he advocates for action, execution, and making the most out of challenging circumstances.

The Power of Storytelling

In a world filled with tools like the recording camera used in the interview, Gary encourages individuals to create and share their stories. He believes that by sharing personal experiences and emotions, you can help others going through similar hardships. This act of storytelling can empower both the storyteller and those who hear the stories.

Supporting One Another

Gary’s advice centers on the idea that, even in tough times, we can find strength by helping and supporting others. By sharing our own experiences and offering a helping hand, we create a sense of unity and empowerment within our communities.

Conclusion

While Gary Vaynerchuk recognizes that each challenging situation is unique, his message ultimately revolves around the power of action, storytelling, and support. In the face of adversity, it’s our collective strength and resilience that can make a significant difference.

From 3-Pointers to Recycling: How I Teamed Up with Pepsi to Make a Difference

by

A Friendly Challenge

Years ago, at a Chamber of Commerce event, I challenged our area Pepsi Guy in a thrilling 3-point contest. The trash talk leading up to our turn was vicious and nasty (and business appropriate).

I won.

I remember jogging to the sidelines so out of breath and my mouth so dry, that I couldn’t even speak the words ‘water.’

But I won…and I teamed up with Pepsi to Battle Cancer.

Connecting over a Cause

After the contest, Pepsi Guy offered me five minutes to discuss my company, Cells for Cells where our mission is to recycle old cell phones and raise money for families battling cancer.

We decided to join forces locally and make a real impact in our community.

Supporting Light the Night

Our connection with Pepsi grew stronger, and I was able to introduce the Pepsi team to my friend working at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Pepsi generously provided all the beverages for the Light the Night Event, the LLS’s largest event in Kansas City.

A Big Opportunity with Pepsi Corporate

Building on our local success, I asked Pepsi Guy if he could connect me with someone at Pepsi’s corporate level.

He introduced me to the East Regional Gal, who, in turn, connected me with the Head of Sustainability at Pepsi World Headquarters in New York.

A Partnership with Purpose

After a thoughtful three-day review, the Head of Sustainability expressed personal alignment with our mission. He said,

“I also connected with your mission on a personal level. To me it was a simple win-win situation for everyone involved.“

– Victor Melendez former Head of Sustainability at Pepsi World Headquarters

We were invited to be a part of the Official Pepsi Eco-challenge, where we recycled thousands of old cell phones for Pepsi.

Beyond the Court

This journey began with a 3-point contest victory and evolved into a powerful partnership where we helped more families battling cancer

The lesson? Sometimes a winning shot can lead to something much bigger.

Help us. Join us. Recycle with us.

If you’re not a 3-point expert but have a box of old cell phones waiting to be recycled, don’t hesitate to connect with me.

If you manage hundreds or thousands of devices for your company, connect with me today.

At Cells for Cells, we’re dedicated to helping families battling cancer, and you can be a part of this battle against cancer.

Overcome Gravity: Recycle and Battle Cancer with Cells for Cells

by

The Weight of Recycling

In the recycling industry, we often share a lighthearted joke about our biggest battle: overcoming gravity. What we mean by this is that, at times, that seemingly mundane box of old iPhones, cell phones, or recyclables lost under your desk can feel like an insurmountable weight. It’s as if the box weighs hundreds of tons, and the prospect of dealing with it can be daunting.

It’s That Simple

But here’s where Cells for Cells steps in to lend a helping hand: if you choose to recycle with us, we provide FREE FedEx shipping, making the process a breeze.

So, you’re practically done at this point—yes, it’s that simple!

The Battle Against Cancer

But let’s put things in perspective. The relative size of your battle (lifting that box of old phones) pales in comparison to the battles others are courageously fighting every day. We’re talking about the battle against cancer. Cells for Cells has been at the forefront, raising tens of thousands of dollars for cancer charities, with a special focus on The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. More recently, we’ve extended our support directly to families through social platforms like Give Send Go and Go Fund Me.

A Personal Connection to Cancer

The inspiration behind Cells for Cells stems from a deeply personal experience. I founded this initiative because my Grandfather lost his battle with cancer, and our family found ourselves lost, unsure of how to cope. That weight was heavier than gravity itself.

It’s this very experience that drives us to help others by lightening their load in the fight against cancer—by raising funds through recycling. We invite you to be a part of this mission, to join us in making a difference.

Help us. Join us. Recycle with us.
