MISSOULA, MT — Verizon Wireless and the University of Montana Grizzlies invite fans to go ‘green’ and help curb domestic violence in the community at the same time.
Fans attending the Grizzlies home football games on Saturday, Oct. 9 and Saturday, Oct. 23 can donate their used wireless phones and accessories to the Verizon Wireless HopeLine® phone recycling program. HopeLine drop boxes will be at the Cell Plus/Verizon Wireless tent located at the Griz Fan Zone (northwest of the stadium) prior to kickoff.
About HopeLine

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
“Verizon Wireless is pleased to partner again this season with the University of Montana Grizzlies to have HopeLine a part of the game-day activities,” said Melanie Braidich, regional president for Verizon Wireless. “We applaud Grizzlies fans for helping make a difference by raising awareness of domestic violence and doing a good thing for the environment by keeping old wireless phones out of landfills.”
