The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life is a unique celebration of life in honor and in memory of those whose lives have been touched by cancer. It has been described as a "huge compassionate support group" – a place where friends, family and loved ones join to celebrate survivorship and to honor those who have lost the battle. The money raised helps support American Cancer Society programs in research, education, advocacy, and service – locally, statewide, and nationally. Paula encourages everyone to find their local Relay For Life and stop by just to experience a little part of something great. http://www.relayforlife.org/relay/

Cell Phones for Soldiers (CPFS) turned old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas in 2008. In 2009, CPFS expects to collect 50,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country. Appletree's Houma, Louisiana office is one of those collection sites for CPFS. From Appletree, the donated cell phones are sent to ReCellular.
