(1888PressRelease) June 14, 2011 - Lake Dallas, Texas - The Boys and Girls Clubs of North Central Texas announced today they have launched two new mobile gateways to facilitate donor awareness and provide an easy access to donate to the organization. "With mobile phones being so prevalent in today's society we wanted to make it easier for prospective donors to reach out to us", stated Rick Troutman, Vice President Resource Development for the Boys and Girls Clubs of North Central Texas.

According to Troutman cell phone users can now text message "4kidz" to donate $10.00 to the Club and the donation will be added to their cell phone bill or if they prefer they can visit the Club's new mobile website at m.bgcnct.org to donate to the Club. "Our mobile website provides information about the Club, access to the Clubs complete website and most importantly a secure gateway for prospective donors to use their credit cards to donate. Texting has become very popular with the larger non-profit organizations and now we have the same capability as they do", Troutman said.

Troutman stated that the text messaging feature is available through all the major cell carriers including AT&T, Nextel, T-Mobile USA, Sprint, U.S. Cellular, Verizon Wireless and Virgin Mobile and is supported by the Mobile Giving Foundation an internationally recognized global relief nonprofit organization.
