After Cardmember rating and Advisory Panel review, the Top 50 projects have been selected and will be announced on July 3. While your Project did not make the Top 50*, your dedication to making a positive impact in the world can continue to resonate. Beginning on July 3, Cardmembers can vote for which project ideas will advance to the Top 25.** There are among 50 projects to back. Visit membersproject.com to cast your vote.

Open rating is now closed and the judges will decide on the top 50 to be announced July 3rd. We did pretty well imho. Out of over 7000 ideas submitted we ended up with a 147 ranking based on the ratings overall. Just in the Health & Fitness category we were 38th. The selection process takes a lot more into account than just the raw #s so hopefully we'll make the cut. Thanks again to everyone who helped.

It's hard letting my daughter out of my sight to daycare or a friend's house. I think this is a GREAT idea and I wish you all the best of luck. This would give such peace of mind for parents.

This project will use proven consumer technologies to keep these kids safe while they are at school. This is a useful development that large device manufacturers will not do.

When we got this device it really changed our lives. We really liked being informed when he was at school, sports or just playing with friends. Its a great invention and we would be lost without it!!
