Walking and collaborating with MADD in their unique fundraising events is an effective way to raise awareness of drunk driving incidents. Walk Like MADD, a signature fundraising event hosted by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, offers volunteers the opportunity to walk long distances as a detailed event to promote DUI restrictions and safe driving practices. Here is the latest news about the latest Walk Like MADD events.
The Mission Behind Walk Like MADD Since Candy Lightner’s daughter was killed in a drunk-driving incident in 1980, Mothers Against Drunk Driving has saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Nobody should become a statistic or casualty of such preventable crimes. While every national MADD chapter aims to prevent drunk driving incidents, this program is primarily for fundraising and community involvement.
The impact of Lightner’s loss continues to impact society today. Walk Like MADD has enabled staff and volunteers to communicate with law enforcement and establish laws to prevent tragic cases such as Carre Lightner’s. With Mothers Against Drunk Driving, every step counts. The Relevance of Fundraising Volunteering to save lives is the perfect way to start 2024. When taking part in Walk Like MADD events, you will meet advocates who share similar passions. Together, you and your local MADD team will raise awareness in fun, engaging ways. Who doesn’t love to boast about a 5K Dash? Every year serves as a delightful opportunity to improve the world, one mission at a time. But why is drunk driving awareness relevant, despite multiple laws in place? Statistics show that most people will be impacted by drunk driving at least once in their lifetime. Mothers Against Drunk Driving effectively targets this issue and encourages volunteers to attend Walk Like MADD events to support its cause.
