I posted this in another spot but thought this was cool enough to get its own thread:

HopeLine®
Fans will have the opportunity to donate their old wireless phones at each stop of the tour by simply bringing no-longer-used wireless phones, batteries and accessories with them and dropping them in the HopeLine® donation area at each venue.

The first 50 people making a donation to HopeLine will receive a special Pearl Jam VIP gift bag. All Verizon Wireless customers making donations at each concert venue will receive a free Pearl Jam ringtone and ringback tone for bringing their old phones and accessories to the show.

The HopeLine® program puts the nation’s most reliable wireless network to work in communities by turning unused wireless phones into support for victims of domestic violence.

    nope, you don't have to have the accessories. these phone drives are actually ongoing but it's cool to see they'll be collecting at the concerts. i wonder what's in the "VIP" bag?? :)

    more info on Hopeline:
    Verizon Wireless collects no-longer-used wireless phones, batteries and accessories in any condition from any wireless service provider at our Communications Stores nationwide. Phones that can be refurbished are sold for reuse and those without value are disposed of in an environmentally sound way. Proceeds from the HopeLine program are used to provide wireless phones and cash grants to local shelters and non-profit organizations that focus on domestic violence prevention and awareness.

    it's ridiculous.... they took some really exciting news and turned it into a slam against the band and their morals!! you think i'd be used to it around here but i still can't believe what a big deal this got turned into! :eek: i guess they want pj to start up their own phone company to avoid 'selling out' to those greedy b*stards at verizon. ;)

    i think it's the pearl jam only shows. our internal website lists the shows and doesn't mention the who show...
