Project Lifesaver
In conjunction with the Horry County Police Department, the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce can administer Project Lifesaver/Radio Frequency tracking bands for children with Autism who are elopers or “runners.” Please note there are a limited number of bands available. Following is the procedure to obtain a band:
- Families in need of a Project Lifesaver band must go to the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce (MBACC) location at 1200 N. Oak St, Myrtle Beach
- To obtain the bracelet, hours of operation are 8:30am-5pm, Monday through Friday.
- Fill out paperwork, provide your credit card number and valid ID.
- If the Chamber is closed when a bracelet needs to be returned, you must go to the Myrtle Beach Police Department, 1101 N Oak St. and leave the bracelet there.
- If the bracelet is not returned, there will be a $375 charge to the credit card, in the name of SOS Healthcare, Inc., to cover the cost of the bracelet.
- For more information, please contact the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce during normal business hours at 843-626-7444.
We want to give our kids the experience most other kids have, even if it is emotionally draining, and programs like this make us feel as if we are not alone.
