MADD SWFL is the only organization in our community that focuses on victims and survivors of this 100% preventable crime.

A MADD SWFL Tribute: You’ll Always Have A Place

On December 12, 2018, we held the second annual Tribute event to honor victims, survivors, their families and friends, law enforcement, first responders and many others in our community who have been tragically affected by drunk, drugged and substance-impaired driv- ing. Over 60 people gathered at the beautiful and serene Heitman House in Downtown Fort Myers to remember, laugh, cry and reminisce about their loved ones. During the reception, a jazz duo played, and the program featured speeches from Attorney Carmen Dellutri, Ser- geant Tim Cornelius, Pastor Bridley and our Program Specialist, Lau- ren Harkins Because of a generous donation, Build-A-Bear teddy bears were available to those who needed comfort. As a gift, we gave each per- son a sunflower sprout to nourish and nurture into a flower.

Many thanks to our Presenting Sponsor: Victory Layne Chevrolet, our food sponsor: Mr. John Patat and the Heitman House,
