As I write this column, it has been nearly
five years to the day since my mother was
rushed to the hospital from her apartment in
Central Florida. The EMTs did a wonderful job of
attending to her, and the doctors did all that they
could, but there was no recovering from a burst
anyeurism. Mom passed away two days later.
What I did notice was that it took many
hours from the time that Mom was first
picked up until our family was notified of her
predicament. By the time we were able to get
to her side - she had slipped into a coma that she
never came out of. In her last hours of distress she was all alone.
Not long after her passing, I came across
an article in USA Today that discussed the very
difficult job first responders have in notifying
next-of-kin of accident victims. Among the many
stories of heartache (Moms not being able to say
goodbye to their children, for example), this
quote jumped off the page at me:
“It can take many HOURS, and even upto a DAY, to
find someone (next-of-kin) “
~ Delaware State Police Spokesman
Having just gone through this very issue, I
could definitely relate! It was about this time
that my daughter was working late hours and
driving home well after midnight. I would “sleep”
restlessly until I heard her car pull up. I always
wondered how I could be certain that I would be
the one called if she was in trouble. Or, would I
wake to find out about it on Facebook? There had
to be a way....
Many of you are familiar with the ICE Keytag,
which was our first solution. Simple and easy to
use, it is now in use all across the USA and in six
other countries. It is very low cost and makes it
easy to let first responders know exactly whom
to call on behalf of an accident victim.
My ultimate goal was to develop a new,
comprehensive, tech based and globally
workable solution...one that would allow
these same hard working first responders and
ER Doctors to know all critical information
about the victim right at the scene. One that
was easy to use, update, and didn’t require
a “fashion statement”. It’s been in place and
available for over a year now, while we’ve
tweaked it and added extra features.
THE I.C.E. MEDICAL CARD!
Borne out of personal tragedy, the I.C.E.
Medical Card is a patented and powerful means
of conveying YOUR critical information to First
Responders if you are ever unable to speak for
yourself! See how it works - page 3.
“Imagine your child or other family member being
rushed to the ER. Their cellphone is broken from the
crash, or lost or locked. First Responders have no way
to get hold of you quickly. The ER doctors will know
very little about them. When time is critical, they will be
all alone, you will have no idea, and no one in the ER
will know anything about any underlying medical
conditions or whom to call.
If they have an ICE Medical Card or Tag, all of the
uncertainty will be gone in seconds. It works anywhere
in the world a cellular or Internet signal is available”.
~Tom Force, President, ICE Medical Cards
The Original “Shark” From “Shark Tank” - Kevin Harrington
“There Are Amazing Benefits From This Product”
Take some time and read
through how we are working
towards protecting 100,000
lives in 2015. Let’s make
YOURS one of them!
Recently ICE Medical Cards was featured on a pilot TV show titled “Gameplan”.
Similar to “Shark Tank”, we discussed our service with several influential
members of the business world, including Kevin Harrington. Kevin is an original
“Shark” from season 1. Kevin had some great things
to say about the ICE Medical Card. We invite you to

Changes and Updates!
We are always looking for ways to make the critical
service that the ICE Medical Card provides even better
and more effective. That’s why we were pleased to
release these changes after some extensive
reprogramming of our system.
- Fully mobile optimized display. When you (or First
Responders) go to yourice.info with their mobile phone or
tablet, they get a perfectly sized entry portal to enter the
account # and PIN. Entry is now done with telephone
buttons, rather than the small numbers from the text
menu!
- All telephone numbers that are retrieved are one touch
active. This means that when pulled by a First Responder,
all they have to do is touch the # in the display and a call
will be made to the next of kin. Time is of the essence,
and with this new system, an EMT or law enforcement officer familiar with our card can pull critical care info and
be calling next of kin in less than 30 seconds!
Partner Spotlight - Priority ER
You have probably seen them popping up all around - Standalone Emergency Rooms and
Clinics. They seem to be everywhere. That’s particularly true in the North Houston suburb
of The Woodlands. It’s home to one of the most competitive environments for these
facilities. One company, “Priority ER” has found a great way to make themselves stand
out and build customer loyalty. They have become an ICE Medical Card partner.
The specially designed ICE Medical Card for their two locations is branded with their logo,
and the sales piece also has their website information on it. The staff sells the cards to
patients and they also have special giveaways to get this important protection in the
hands of their customers.
Besides making sure that First Responders can have a patient’s critical care information in
just seconds, Priority ER has also built loyalty with their life blood - their current
customer base. They are providing a potentially life saving service for these customers and they notice!
The ICE Medical Card is suitable for all types of affinity marketing, and is also perfect as
an employee benefit. Contact us to find out more (see back of this flyer)
- And our most recent upgrade - image hosting! Now when
the critical info is pulled, a picture of the member is
retrieved as well! This is a photo the member can change
within their record at any time.
Priority ER offers the ICE Medical Card through their website, as well as at their facilities in The Woodlands and Katy, Texas.
On the right - Tom Force, company president, presents a Partner’s Award to Tricia Todd, Priority ER Director of Marketing.
ICE Medical Cards is pleased to recognize the real heroes out there - the First Responders who helping to save lives day in
and day out. We have created a site to recognize those who have gone above and beyond. If you would like to nominate
someone, or simply see what these brave men and women have been up to...please visit FRVOTE.COM
ICE Medical Card Wins National Entrepreneurs Competition!
It was an exciting Summer for ICE Medical Cards, its fans and customers! Our President, Tom Force, represented ICE in several national radio
competitions leading up to a $20,000 winner take all challenge! Thousands of voters from around the country awarded the IMC the grand prize!
- July 15, 2014. Tom and ICE Medical Cards are the featured guest on “My Cool
Inventions” - a Nationally Syndicated Radio show. After explaining the history behind
its creation and how it works, the audience votes on whether they like the product
or not. ICE Medical Cards received a RARE 100% “Thumbs Up”. His scores wins the
weekly competition against other presenters and moves him along to the next round.
- August 1, 2014. Tom presents the ICE Medical Card in competition against two other
weekly winners on the “Dream Big America” nationally syndicated radio show. Voting
takes place for a week after the show ends. Although the competition is fierce, ICE
Medical Cards wins, in what the show producers says was a vote that “wasn’t even
close”!
- August 22, 2014. The Finals. Tom is now up against two other entrepreneurs who won weekly votes on Dream Big America. They have won their previous
two rounds as well. The format is the same - Tom had two minutes to pitch the ICE Medical Card to the national audience. When the dust settled, and due in
large part to our fans and customers around the world who took a moment to vote - we won the Grand Prize - a $20,000 Marketing Package! Thanks again to
all who pushed us over the top in this prestigeous competition!
“ …a great invention…it touches Americans in so many ways they never even
knew. If I’m in an accident, how is someone gonna know my blood type? How
are they gonna know my medical history? It’s a great idea!”
~ John Cremeans, Host – “My Cool Inventions”, nationally syndicated radio.
HOW DOES IT ALL WORK? A QUICK TUTORIAL...
Members receive their wallet/purse ID card
and tag combo, with unique account # and PIN
If you are in an accident and can’t speak on your own behalf, First Responders will
find your ICE Medical Card in your wallet/purse while looking for your ID, and will
see the keytag on the keys as they take them out of the ignition.

2 Easy Options for Fundraising:
Actual Mailer Size: 5 1/2” x 4”
NO-COST, Online Sales with Direct Shipping to Your Supporters:
Your organization shares a link via email or social media to a custom web page (done for you at no charge) that explains how the system
works and the benefits of owning the ICE Medical Card. Your supporters can enroll right on that page. We process the order and send the
membership materials directly to your supporters.
An individual subscription is $3.95/mo., or your supporters can select a family "4 pack" for $9.95/mo., which is below our advertised
price. Your fundraiser will inevitably be comprised of a mix of individual memberships and family memberships.
Traditional Sign-up forms with first month fee collected by your organization:
Rather than purchase online, the organization members use an order form to collect orders and payment for the first month of service
(either $3.95 for an individual or $9.95 for a family “4 pack.”). After your set selling period ends, send us the completed forms and payment.
We fulfill by shipping the membership materials directly to the customer and pay your organization its portion of the fundraiser profits. The
enrollee will initiate their ongoing subscription (via credit card) when they activate their card.
CONTINUOUS PROFITS!
Every month - each $3.95 subscription pays your organization $1.50. We bill quarterly, so you will receive $4.50 per enrollee every 3 months. The
family 4-pack pays your organization $4 per month, or $12 every quarter. If you have 100 enrollees - this program, with full retention, would net $1800
annually, using just the individual membership. You can also have new enrollees come on at any time.
CUSTOM BRANDED CARDS FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION!
You have the option of creating a custom card including your organization's name or logo on the card and key tag. We require at least 250
enrollees for your program to brand the card. Use the sign-up sheets, collect the first month's payment, and when we receive the final count
and payment, we will create your branded cards at no extra charge!

- California Highway Patrol: “The concept
is really fantastic. It’s a great way for Public
Safety to assist people who cannot speak on
their own behalf. People that are incapacitated
due to an accident, or even people with special
needs, or for whatever reason, cannot speak for
themselves”. ~ Officer Tang, CHP
(see video at icemediakit.com - “Our Story” tab)
- LAPD: “It’s a great idea, everything we can do
to cut down the time to notify loved ones of an
accident or injury is very important and this is a
great way to do that”.
