ST. PETERSBURG - Baseball fans attending the Devil Rays-Atlanta Braves game tonight at Tropicana Field can bring unwanted, and even broken, cell phones to the game to benefit charity.

Easter Seals Florida West Coast Region hopes to recycle the phones, turning them into cash, for Sprint Project Connect, a nationwide program benefiting Easter Seals, along with the National Organization on Disability.

A collection box will be set up inside Gate 1 at the Sprint booth.
