Launching February 27, the initiative transforms unused tech into support for the North Gwinnett Schools Foundation
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Atlanta Vibe (Vibe), Atlanta’s first and premier professional women’s volleyball team, today announced a new partnership with Phobio, a technology company redefining the circular economy by turning used technology into renewed value, to launch a community-driven device donation program titled “Pass It On.” The program encourages fans to donate their old or unused devices to generate funds to support the North Gwinnett Schools Foundation.
The partnership between Vibe and Phobio expands on similar collaborations Phobio has launched with prominent nonprofit organizations, including the Georgia Aquarium, the Georgia Festival of Trees, and WABE, as part of its “Phobio for Good” service.
Theresa Wenzel, Atlanta Vibe team president, said, “The Vibe has one of the largest digital audiences in pro sports, so we know our fans have a LOT of old devices gathering dust at home. In addition, we are a year-round supporter of Gwinnett Public Schools and this is another way we can contribute to the growth of their sports programs.”
As Gwinnett’s professional women’s volleyball team, the Atlanta Vibe competes at Gas South Arena, drawing fans from across the county and region. The Vibe highlights and collaborates with organizations and schools across the county.
To participate, supporters simply visit the program’s website and enter details about their old device (laptop, cell phone, tablet, etc.). They will then receive a free shipping label to send the device to Phobio at no cost. Once the item is received, evaluated, and processed, the proceeds go directly to the Vibe–Gwinnett Schools account, turning old technology into new resources for local Gwinnett County schools.
“We are very excited to support women’s sports and our local schools,” shared Missy Taylor, CEO of Phobio. “This initiative is a meaningful and tangible way for Phobio to combine our passion for women’s opportunities as well as our support of the local educational community.”
