VOTEL Mobile and Miracles for Kids Join Forces for ‘Keeping Loved Ones Connected’ Campaign to Raise Money for Children in Need

LOS ANGELES -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- VOTEL Mobile and Miracles for Kids, a Southern California-based nonprofit organization, kicks off the season of giving through the launch of a joint philanthropic effort, “Keeping Loved Ones Connected,” to raise money in support of Miracles for Kids’ mission to improve the lives of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Through the program, VOTEL Mobile will donate $10 to Miracles for Kids for each new customer purchase of one of its unlimited mobile plans through www.votelmobile.com/miracles, using the coupon code “MIRACLES” at checkout. In further appreciation of its customers and their giving spirit, VOTEL Mobile is extending an additional $20 off total purchase for customers that use the “MIRACLES” coupon code.

“Keeping Loved Ones Connected” is a result of VOTEL Mobile’s desire to lead by example and give back to the community. As a strong advocate of Miracles for Kids and their programs aimed at keeping low-income families with critically ill children sheltered, nourished, and financially and emotionally stable – the partnership is a natural fit and “Keeping Loved Ones Connected” is just the beginning of additional joint efforts to give back.

“We are proud to be a charitable partner of Miracles for Kids, which is an outstanding organization dedicated to such a worthy cause of supporting children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses,” said Jeff Javidzad, chief executive officer, VOTEL Mobile. “We know that our customers share our passion for giving. The purchase of a mobile phone and wireless plan are an everyday proposition for most of us. Our partnership with Miracles for Kids makes it possible for consumers to turn an everyday expense into an opportunity to give back, while experiencing extraordinary savings in the process.”

“We are so incredibly grateful for and proud of our partnership with VOTEL Mobile,” said Autumn Strier, president, Miracles for Kids. “With the support and generous donations from individuals and great organizations like VOTEL Mobile, Miracles for Kids has been able to impact the lives of hundreds of critically ill children and their low-income families throughout the community we serve. Just being able to see some joy in children’s faces during this trying time is a wonderful reward for all of us affiliated with Miracles for Kids.”
