It is easier than ever to help in the fight against Nephrotic Syndrome and FSGS. Our fundraising program aims to collect cell phones and printer cartridges that are no longer in use, keep them from harming the environment and raise money for NephCure in the process!

About the program:

NephCure's donation program is a recycling initiative in which used cell phones and printer cartridges are refurbished for future sale or recycled according to EPA guidelines. Donated cell phones have the potential to generate up to $35 per phone based on the phone's maturity and technology. Printer cartridges usually generate around $1 to $2 per cartridge. All cell phone/printer cartridge donations to NephCure are substantial, and help give hope to thousands of families.

How you can help:

NephCure is searching for volunteers and businesses to place collection boxes in various high-traffic locations and communicate the message about the collection program. Possible locations include: grocery stores, convenient stores, other retail stores, places of worship, video rental stores, libraries, salons, banks, coffee shops, dry cleaners, gyms, health clubs, or any location that attracts consistent traffic of people. The program is simple to implement and totally free for the volunteer and the host location. In addition, all donations are tax deductible based on the fair market value of the products.

If you would like to arrange to receive a box to act as a collection point please call Miriam Wagner Long 1-866-NEPHCURE ext. 10 or email her at mlong@nephcure.org.
