Today, with great excitement, I would like to announce that Cells for Cells has reached the $20,000.00 mark in money raised for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
We could not have done this without the help of so many wonderful people and companies.
I have to first thank Janna LaCock, executive director of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society here in Kansas City. Janna – thank you for believing in us and trusting us with this little idea to raise money by recycling cell phones!
I have to say thank you to everyone in the Orange County and Philadelphia Chapters for allowing us to start Cells for Cells in your cities – Kimberly and Janine and Marissa and Dana – thank you.
And thank you to all of our partners that loyally support us – this would not happen if it wasn’t for you. Please share my gratitude with all of your employees who have donated their phones to Cells for Cells.
Please remember that the cell phones that YOU recycle are used to generate money for the Patient Financial Aid Programs of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. With that money, cancer patients and their families have access to financial resources for drugs, medicines, blood screening, transfusions, transportation costs, and co-pay assistance.
I am very comfortable saying that YOUR old cell phones are a tool to help beat cancer and to help save a life.
Looking forward to an incredible 2009,
Jason Clements
