Virgin Mobile RE*Generation Giveaway
byVirgin Mobile recently announced its newest RE*Generation phone, the Samsung GALAXY S5. Not only is this a highly-anticipated and talked-about phone — due in part to its 16MP camera, 16GB of memory and Android™ 4.4.2 KitKat® operating system — but it also does some good.
Right now, $15 from the sale of every GALAXY S5 bought from Virgin Mobile will go to Virgin Mobile RE*Generation, an initiative dedicated to helping at-risk and homeless youth.
This is the sixth phone in the RE*Generation phone program. Since its inception in 2008, the program has raised over $1 million to support the lives of at-risk and homeless youth across Canada. I remember when Sir Richard Branson’s daughter, Holly Branson, spoke at WE Day in Vancouver about social initiatives. She quoted an African proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Speaking to the power of many, for a single cause, and what can be accomplished.
Right now there are 225,000 Canadian youth without a job and not in school. 35,000 live in emergency shelters, and tonight up to 6,000 youth will sleep on the streets — a reason why I support Covenant House in Vancouver, a cause that Virgin Mobile has previously supported in North America.
The cycle of homelessness is extremely difficult to escape without help. With little income or opportunities to work, at-risk youth can’t afford decent, stable accommodations or the basic necessities. This lack makes it a huge challenge to sustain work or emerge from homelessness, and so the cycle continues.
Virgin Mobile RE*Generation empowers a generation to help its own and support at-risk and homeless youth. This movement is committed to creating new opportunities and experiences for at-risk and homeless youth across the country to help them emerge out of the cycle of homelessness. To date, more than $2.5 million has been raised and dispersed to leading youth serving agencies across the country from programs such as Change For A Dollar, Text to Donate, the RE*Generation phone and ongoing benefit concerts. Join Virgin Mobile RE*Generation to help give a chance to youth who need it the most.
Get the Samsung Galaxy S5™ with Virgin Mobile and $15 goes to Virgin Mobile RE*Generation to help youth emerge from homelessness. The phone is available at any Virgin Mobile store or kiosk, online, or call 1-888-999-2321.
