Every year on his birthday, Erik Donner, a Small Business Accounts Manager at TCC, celebrates by giving back—a personal tradition that reflects his gratitude for the support he receives throughout the year. This year, Erik spearheaded a phone collection initiative through TCC stores in Minnesota, Nebraska, and Iowa to benefit More Than a Phone.

The effort was nothing short of remarkable. Erik and his team collected an astounding 777 devices—an incredible achievement in honor of his 7th anniversary at TCC. It took Erik three months to package up the phones due to the overwhelming response. These devices will now be recycled, with the proceeds directly supporting More Than a Phone’s mission to provide survivors of domestic violence with safe smartphones.

Erik’s unwavering commitment demonstrates how simple acts can create life-changing opportunities for survivors. Thank you, Erik, for transforming phones into lifelines and helping survivors on their path to safety and independence.
