Relay for Life goes high-tech in fight against cancer
Courtesy Lincoln County Relay For Life is part of an American Cancer Society test program with receiving donations through text messaging.
The Lincoln County Relay For Life is part of an American Cancer Society test program on Sunday to collect donations through text messages.
Supporters on June 28 can send a text message from their mobile phones to make an instant $5 donation that goes toward the fight against cancer.
To participate and donate $$, text the world “PURPLE” to 20222. Respond, “yes” when prompted to confirm the donation.
The $5 charge will be added to the customer’s mobile phone bill. The transaction will be identified as a donation to the American Cancer Society via the Mobile Giving Foundation. The entire $5 goes to the ACS with none to the mobile provider. Donations are tax-deductible.
Text message fees associated with the customer’s mobile plan will apply.
Donations support American Cancer Society research, free patient services and early detection and prevention programs.
