Turn Old into Gold!

Special Olympics has partnered with RMS Communications Group Inc. to recycle unwanted cell phones into cash for Special Olympics, as well as help the environment.  An estimated 130 million cell phones annually are tossed away or end up in landfills every year.  There are 200,000 people in North Carolina with intellectual disabilities and Recycle For Special Olympics will help them realize their potential, develop physical fitness and experience joy and friendship.
