The
Rich Mountain Battlefield Foundation needs our help. The main issue they
are confronting is the presence of vandalism and graffiti on or near the
battlefield. Because of the relatively remote location, the board hopes
to raise money for help in the upkeep and preservation of the existing
battlefield. Click on an image below to see a larger version.

FROM
DOUG COOPER:
1)
Each of us collect from friends, neighbors and coworkers as many
old cell phones (and accessories like chargers and headsets) prior
to the event and bring them to Rich Mountain in a box.
2) The phones will be collected in a bigger box at registration
that Doug will oversee and then turn them over to RMBF.
3) Project ReCell then contracts with UPS to pick up the phones
(they pay shipping) and then they cut a check for the phones directly
to the Battlefield Foundation.
4) For those folks who are flying in or who collect too many to
drive in, UPS will also come to your door to collect them free of
charge and ship to Project Recell.
5) You get a donation tax credit as well.
