PHOENIX, AR — Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading wireless provider, and the Phoenix Coyotes are teaming up to invite fans to help curb domestic violence in our community. Representatives from Verizon Wireless will be at Gate 4 inside the Glendale Arena from 6-8 p.m. on March 24 to accept used wireless phones and accessories from Phoenix Coyotes fans to benefit domestic violence victims through the Verizon Wireless HopeLineSM program.
Through the HopeLine program, used wireless phones, batteries and accessories from any carrier are refurbished, recycled and/or sold. Proceeds are used to award grants to local, state and national non-profit and public safety agencies engaged in domestic violence prevention and to donate phones with airtime to agencies for use by victims of abuse.
"Verizon Wireless is pleased to join together with the Phoenix Coyotes to make a difference off the ice," said Tami Erwin, regional president for Verizon Wireless. "By aiding domestic violence prevention and advocacy agencies, HopeLine donations help the entire community."
Verizon Wireless awarded more than $32,000 in HopeLine grants to domestic violence agencies in Arizona alone in 2003, as well as donating 100 HopeLine wireless phones with one year of prepaid airtime to domestic violence agencies throughout the state.
Wireless phones and equipment can be donated to the HopeLine program year-round at any Verizon Wireless Communications Store across the country.
