Media Advisory/Photo Opportunity - GO Transit helps those in need by donating cell phones and raising tons of spare change

What: Photo opportunity of GO Transit donating over 300 cell phones
to United Way of Greater Toronto for women's and children's
shelters. GO staff have collected all the unclaimed cell phones
from Union Station's Lost and Found, and United Way will
distribute the phones to women in shelters, who can use them
for emergency assistance calls to 911. 
GO's Transit Enforcement team will also be leading the GO for
United Way spare change collection, where thousands of commuters
will empty their pockets to support GO Transit's United Way
campaign. With your help, GO's spare change days have raised
tens of thousands of dollars over the years. We're hoping to
have another successful event this year. If GO could collect
just 25 cents from each of the 65,000 commuters inside Union
Station during the morning rush, it would add up to over $16,000
going towards a great cause.   When: Wednesday, December 14, 2005
Photo opportunity of cell phone donation at 8:30 a.m.
Spare change drive from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.   Where: Union Station's GO Transit concourse
