LCHS Band Boosters and LPD to host cell phones for Soldiers at February 15th Railer game

[February 05, 2019] 

The Lincoln Community High School Band Boosters and Lincoln Police Department will host 'Cell Phones for Soldiers' on Friday, February 15th at the Railers versus Taylorville Tornados basketball game.

At the concession stand, donate your unwanted cell phones to provide American soldiers around the world free phone services. For every cell phone donated, the band boosters will provide you with one FREE popcorn and one FREE bottled water.

From the cell phones for soldiers website:

Cell Phones For Soldiers accepts any and all types of cell phones from any carrier.

Newer, gently-used mobile devices, including smartphones, are preferred; however, proceeds are generated from the recycling of broken and outdated mobile phones. Chargers and accessories are also welcomed to donate. Please do not send instruction manuals.

If your cell phone has a SIM card, please remove it prior to donating. You also can search the internet for “factory reset” for the specific make and model of your phone to obtain instructions on wiping away all personal information. But please rest assured that any phone that we receive will be completely wiped of any data on it.
