-Sample-

To: Volunteers, members, co-workers

From: (Name of your organization)

Subject: Used Cell Phone Fundraising Drive


In order to maximize funds raised for (name of event), we are collecting used cell phones and will receive a donation payment for each cell phone that is collected. 

We have partnered with the Charitable Recycling program to provide the community with a cost-free and convenient recycling opportunity. It is estimated that as many as 150 million cell phones get retired in the U.S. each year. Used cell phones contain many toxins and should not end up in landfills.

Recycling benefits more than the environment. Recycled cell phones are used for social good as many donated phones are distributed for 911 (emergency only) services, providing battered adults, children and senior citizens with a direct link to necessary communication. Other recovered phones are reused in less developed countries where the cost of a new phone is often prohibitive, or, in areas of the world where there are no land (wire) lines. Obsolete phones are destroyed in an environmentally-responsible manner, with 100% landfill diversion.
