PNA AND AFFILIATES JOIN IN THE CAMPAIGN
FOR CELL PHONES FOR SOLDIERS

Chicago, Illinois - The Polish National Alliance along with The Polish Roman Catholic Union of America, The Polish Women's Alliance, The Polish Falcons of America, and the PNA affiliates, The Dziennik Zwiazkowy, WPNA 1490am Radio, and both PNA Bank locations are joining in the support of the "Cell Phone For Soldiers" program by having drop off boxes at their locations;

More than 150,000 troops are serving overseas and are away from their families. "Cell Phones for Soldiers" and the PNA, PRCUA, PFA and PWA are calling on everyone in the area to support these brave men and women by donating your unused cell phones.

"Cell Phone for Soldiers" was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Berquist from Nowell, Massachusetts with $21.00 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $1 million dollars and distributed more than 5000,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas. The donated phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays "Cell Phones for Soldiers" for each donated phone, enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad with prepaid calling cards.

Vice President's Paul C. Odrobina (PNA), Sharon Zago (PWA), Anna Sokolowski (PRCUA) and Robert Gorny (PFA) are chairing and hosting the official drop off locations at their offices along the PNA affiliates.

Residents can support the collection drive by donating their phones at the following locations:

Donations are accepted at these locations starting from December 1, 2011 until March 1, 2012, during the regular office hours. For additional information about the "Cell Phones for Soldiers" program, visit their website at www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com
