The Green Bay Packers and Verizon today announced their continuing campaign during October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month to collect no-longer-used wireless devices from fans, to support prevention efforts and assist survivors, at a gameday HopeLine Collection Sunday, Oct. 18.
“The Green Bay Packers are proud to once again partner with Verizon for the HopeLine program to continue working to end domestic violence,” said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. “The phone drive provides an opportunity for our fans and guests to join the campaign, donate their used phones and help us support those who have experienced domestic violence.”
Wireless phones given to HopeLine are refurbished and proceeds generated are given to local non-profit domestic violence prevention organizations, including those in Wisconsin.
