As we begin a new year, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who donated cell phone to Cells for Cells. Thank you for making Cells for Cells a booming success in our first year. Without your cell phone donations, we would not have been able to help so many families that are battling cancer.
Though we only raised $15.75 in our first month (January 2007), that amount steadily grew. And by the end of December 2007, we had raised a total of $10,000.00 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society just by recycling your old cell phones.
Right now, that $10,000.00 is benefitting Kansas City families. My hope is that the families supported by Cells for Cells will find some relief from financial worry for a time. And I believe they will be comforted that so many of you have made an effort to help them.
Please congratulate and thank all of your employees for participating. Together, we’ve started something wonderful. And together, we are going to help many, many more families throughout the U. S. in the year to come.
NEXT STEPS TO HELP EVEN MORE FAMILIES BATTLING CANCER
· Let me know if you currently have more phones to donate.
· Write a testimonial of why you or your company got involved with Cells for Cells. Do you have a personal story?
· Use your influence to get other companies involved.
· Help us set our goal for 2008 – how can we raise $20,000 or $50,000 or $100,000?
Gratefully,
