DEAR FRIENDS OF MADD,
As the nation’s largest nonprofit focused on ending impaired driving, Mothers Against Drunk Driving ® ( MADD ® ) is working to prevent the tragedies caused by drunk and drugged driving. For over 40 years, we have served nearly one million victims and have saved more than 400,000 lives. Today we continue to advocate for stronger laws, educate on the dangers of underage drinking and drug use, support our heroes in law enforcement and advocate for technology. In 2019, the year was instrumental for MADD as we began to “Redefine our Future.” Through defining a clear vision and building the foundation for a modern, stronger, and more united MADD, we began to build the path for an innovative future. With the help of our dedicated staff, volunteers, partners, and members, 2019 was a year of accomplishments, advocacy, and remembrance. Highlights include: Through our Victim Service programs we provided a service every three minutes serving 15,338 through direct services with a total of 13,430 services provided. MADD educated 166,274 offenders. MADD reached over one million youth through the Power of You(th) ® program through the distribution of its Power of You(th) ® teen booklet distribution and teen presentations across the nation. Our first national Saturation Saturday launched in August. Volunteers and staff teamed up with 262 law enforcement departments in 18 states at sobriety checkpoints, roll call briefings and other crackdown events to highlight the effectiveness of high-visibility law enforcement in catching and deterring drunk and drugged driving. Advocacy efforts led to the passage of two new ignition interlock laws in Kentucky and New Jersey, bringing the total to 34 states and D.C. with all- offender ignition interlock laws. While these are just a few highlights in 2019, the Annual Report will provide more detail about the impact donors, sponsors, and you have on our mission. Together we are saving lives and serving those who need us most while creating a nation of No More Victims ®.
