Crull Me Maybe Podcast | Atlanta Vibe & Phobio Partnership Making a Community Impact

On this episode of Crull Me Maybe, we step outside the lines of competition to highlight how sports teams can create meaningful change in their communities. Host Melanie Crull is joined by Laura "Bird" Kuhn, GM and assistant coach of the Atlanta Vibe, and Missy Taylor, CEO of Phobio.

They discuss the “Pass It On” campaign, a unique partnership that allows fans to donate old technology—like phones, laptops, and tablets—to support Gwinnett County Public Schools.

Learn how this initiative is helping schools receive funding, keeping devices out of landfills, and strengthening connections between the Vibe and the Gwinnett community.

Whether you're a sports fan, community leader, or simply looking for ways to give back, this episode highlights how teamwork off the court can make a real difference.
