Dear Friends of MADD
As I reflect on my last year as Board Chair of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, I am honored to have led this remarkable organization. In 2021, with the support of community partners, donors, volunteers, and staff, MADD reached many monumental triumphs.
THE MISSION
Highlights include:
We know we have our challenges ahead, but we are ready to make even bigger strides in 2022. MADD will never give up until we reach a day when there are zero deaths and zero injuries caused by impaired driving. Victim of Crime Act (VOCA) Fix - Essential funding increased to support lifesaving services for crime victims. MADD depends on these funds to serve drunk and drugged driving victims 24 hours, seven days a week. • Signing of the Infrastructure Bill - Beginning as soon as 2026, new cars will come equipped with drunk-driving prevention technology. Adding technology to cars that can detect impairment and stop a driver from operating a vehicle could save 9,400 lives a year. • Creation of the “War Room” - Led by MADD National President Alex Otte with a group of supporters devoted to making a change with drunk driving prevention technology. Past MADD National Presidents joined, lending their expertise and support. •
The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving ® (MADD) is to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes, and prevent underage drinking.
