TextNoMore is an app that aims to reduce distracted driving by rewarding users for not using their phones while driving. It displays information about missing children to help find them. The app also partners with schools to help raise funds - for every business that sponsors a school through the app, $30 goes to the school each month. This allows schools to raise unlimited funds while helping to save lives from distracted driving.

Each day, 15 people are killed and 1,200 injured in
distracted driving related accidents. Thats approximately
1 every 90 minutes.
At any given moment 800,000 Americans are texting and
making calls without a hands free device while driving
during the daytime. With nearly 8,000 deaths and half a
million injuries in the U.S. caused by distracted drivers just
last year, we realized that the hands free laws that are
being passed in many states were not enough to fight
this deadly growing epidemic. Currently, there are 39
states with the anti-texting laws, and many more to come.
Our solution is to come together as a community to
reward individuals for making the choice to not allow their
cell phone to distract them while driving. We created the
Text No More application, which allows community
partners to offer rewards in the form of discounted
merchandise and services in exchange for the individuals
commitment to take a stand against distracted driving by
enabling the application before they hit the road.

When tragedy hit TextNoMores hometown of Portland,
Oregon with the disappearance of local children, we saw an
opportunity to expand our mission. By partnering with the
Missing and Exploited Children Organizations (AMECO), we
have enabled our application to also provide pictures and
information on missing children each time the driver activates
it. With an astounding 2,300 Americans reported missing
everyday, the speed at which we can reach so many individuals
is critical in bringing families back together.
TextNoMores pledge is to help save as many lives and bring as
many children home as possible while unifying our community
and empowering small business. Every download means
another person has undertaken the responsibility to be a safe
driver in their community as well as a helping hand in the
identification and rescue of missing loved ones. TextNoMore
makes the big world a small and more manageable community
of advocates for safer roads and a safer society, while sending
the message that we will not stop looking for the missing until
they are safe and back home with their families.
