“Cell
Phones for Soldiers started as a small way to show our
family’s appreciation for the men and women who have
sacrificed the day-to-day contact with their own
families to serve in the U.S. armed forces,” says the
teens’ father, Bob Bergquist. “Over the past few years,
we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of others.
But, we have also seen the need to support our troops
continue to grow as more troops are sent overseas for
longer assignments.”
Through increased fundraising efforts, the Bergquist
family hopes to raise more than $9 million in the next
five years to fund new programs, such as providing video
phones with prepaid service to allow soldiers abroad to
see their families on a regular basis. For more
