• Twist top-up coupons worth CZK 400,000 distributed to non-profit organizations for the fourth time
• Special editions of coupons supporting the DMS service

Prague, 30 September 2009 - T-Mobile, the largest national mobile operator, has prepared the fourth special edition of Twist top-up coupons to support non-profit organizations. This year, four thousand coupons worth CZK 100 each will be donated to the following four charity organizations: Nadace Divoké Husy (The Wild Geese Foundation), Charita Česká republika (Caritas Czech Republic), Nadace Charty 777 (Foundation Charter 77) and Výbor dobré vůle - Nadace Olgy Havlové (Committee of Good Will - the Olga Havel Foundation).

"The top-up coupons will be donated to the non-profit organizations for the fourth time," said Martina Kemrová, the Senior Head of Corporate Communication at T-Mobile. "They can use them at their own discretion - to cover their own telephone costs or to donate them to their partners or cooperating organizations. Thanks to their design, the coupons also support the DMS campaigns of the individual organizations. T-Mobile pioneered the DMS service five years ago."

T-Mobile has donated CZK 1.6 million worth of top-coupons to non-profit organizations since the company started the program in 2006. The organizations that have received coupons were selected within T-Mobile's charitable activities and social corporate responsibility program. Organizations that have received aid so far include, for example, the Paraple Centrum, Máme otevřeno? (Are We Open?) civic association, Nadace VIA (the Via Foundation), Komunitní nadace Euroregionu Labe (Community Foundation of Euroregion Labe), Fórum dárců (Czech Donors Forum) or 135 organizations supported by the T-Mobile Fund in 2008.

T-Mobile is planning to donate top-up coupons with the DMS logo to non-profit organizations in 2010 as well. More information for interested non-profit organizations will be posted sufficiently in advance at www.prosvetkolemnas.cz.
