Turn Old into Gold for Special Olympics

Have an old cell phone around the house you don’t use and don’t know how to get rid of it? Most people don’t realize their old cell phone still has value. Special Olympics is partnering with RMS Communications to turn unwanted cell phones into cash for Special Olympics. Bring your old phone to the Buckshot and drop it in the recycling boxes located in the Party in the Park area. Your old cell phone is worth $$$$ to Special Olympics.
