Program in 2007
    Verizon Wireless says consumers and businesses across the country gave
more than one-million old and no-longer-used wireless phones in 2007 to the

phones.

domestic violence prevention and awareness programs, to award more than one-
point-seven million dollars in cash grants, generated by the sale of
refurbished phones, to more than 330 domestic violence agencies and
organizations nationwide.
