Donating the envelopes at an expense of more than $100,000, ReCellular believes American's will turn this investment into an even greater benefit for Komen for the Cure and the environment. Any group or company that will commit to distributing at least 1,000 envelopes can join in the effort. ReCellular will track each company's performance so that they can monitor how many phones they have donated to the cause.
"ReCellular already processes more than 5 million phones a year," says Steve Manning, CEO of ReCellular. "Connect to the Cure is the ideal way for us to put our size and expertise to work to benefit such a worthy cause. With a distribution of 5 million envelopes, a realistic total donation to Komen could be in the millions of dollars."

Komen for the Cure® is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.
