Cells for Cells Heroes
“What is a hero without love for mankind.” -Doris Lessing, Author
Heroes don’t need capes and super-human powers to make a difference – they just need to care. Cells for Cells is proud to honor these everyday heroes who, by leading cell phone collection drives at their companies and organizations, made a huge difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families.

Beve Freeman | Premier Global Services |
 We honor Beve Freeman, facilities manager for Premiere Global Services as May's Cells for Cells Hero. Beve, who is a cancer survivor, has wholeheartedly embraced the Cells for Cells | Recycle for a Cure program. By securing all of Premiere's used corporate cell phones and by helping to promote cell phone recycling at their Atlanta, Colorado Springs, and Lenexa offices, Beve helped the Cells for Cells program reach a new record in donations in May. The Cells for Cells program was able to donate $1,000 to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Thank you, Beve! You have made a difference! |

Becky Beaty | Polsinelli, Shalton, Flanigan & Suelthaus, P.C |
 We honor Becky Beaty, Telecom Engineer at the law firm of Polsinelli Shalton Flanigan Suelthuas. She is our Cells for Cells Hero for April 2007. We honor her for her outstanding initiative and valuable contribution. Becky single-handedly launched a Cells for Cells Drive at all eight company locations and collected over 100 phones. Thank you, Becky! You have made a difference. |

Jeff Pickerill | T-Mobile |
 We honor Jeff Pickerill as June's Cells for Cells Hero. Jeff manages both T-Mobile kiosks in the Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, Kansas. Pictured with Jeff is Victoria Rodriquez and Jason Costigan.
After an initial "no" from T-Mobile corporate offices, Jeff sought and received special permission to collect phones for the Cells for Cells program. Jeff is now encouraging other T-Mobile locations to set up their kiosks as Cells for Cells drop-off points.
We honor Jeff for his outstanding initiative and valuable contribution to the Cells for Cells | Recycle for a Cure program.
Thank you, Jeff. You are making a difference!
By the way, if you need help with your T-Mobile account or if you need to upgrade to a MyFaves plan, just stop by and ask for Jeff, Victoria or Jason when you are at the Oak Park Mall. If you are near the Independence Center Mall, talk to Davon Stewart. Remember to take your old cell phone with you and drop it in the white Cells for Cells box. |

Christina Conrad & Brett Fisher | Burns & McDonnell |
In three short weeks, Brett and Christina collected a whopping 773 cell phones for Cells for Cells. They surpassed their collection goal by 155%. Wow! By doing so, Brett and Christina shattered the previous collection record of 122 cell phones held by UMB and the Polsinelli Law Offices.
We congratulate Brett and Christina for their initiative and determination. You both have made a difference! |

| Holly Brown | UMB |
 Holly Brown, wireless manager for UMB, is our Cells for Cells Hero for September 2007. Holly truly is a hero of the program.
When the Cells for Cells program was still in the “brainstorming” stage, Holly was the first to say “yes” to participating in the program. This year, Holly singlehandedly collected over 225 cell phones and has been one of the most vocal supporters of Cells for Cells. Holly was instrumental in implementing a company-wide cell phone collection drive at UMB which is currently ongoing. So if you are an associate at UMB and have not yet donated your old phone, please contact your wireless manager (and Cells for Cells Hero), Holly Brown.
Holly, on behalf of all of us at Cells for Cells and on behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you for your enthusiastic support.
You are making a difference! |
