The wireless phones will be collected at seven drop locations outside LP Field with collection beginning at 12:30 p.m. through kickoff. Once collected, the used cell phones will be recycled and the proceeds will help benefit the organization "Cell Phones for Soldiers," a program that gives prepaid calling cards to U.S. troops stationed overseas.

About Cell Phones for Soldiers:
"Cell Phones for Soldiers" turns old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas. To do so, "Cell Phones for Soldiers" hopes to collect 50,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country. Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist from Norwell, Mass., with $21 of their own money. Since then the organization has raised almost $2 million in donations and distributed more than 500,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas.
