"Our goal is to raise $10,000,” said Davidson. “The start-up fee is $4,500, and each band costs $300; for individuals who can't afford those bands, we're hoping to be able to offer them at no cost." She said they have been working on the project, trying to raise funds. Thanks to three major donors – Range Resources, Washington Financial, and Washington Health System – the total right now stands at $7,600.
The Canton Carnival and Sheriff's Night Out was held August 20, with proceeds going to Project Lifesaver. The sheriff's department also partnered with the Autism Open golf outing in July, and the proceeds went to the project.
Sheriff Davidson is hoping to have everything in place by the end of the year. She said the registry will be at the sheriff's department, where people can get a band that will be registered specifically to that individual or caretaker. "And if they would happen to go missing, 911 would notify us; we're the ones who get called out if somebody is missing. The band emits a unique signal and the officers are trained and able to track. It's a great program the whole way around, but most important is saving lives."
