The information presented in this report demonstrates whymore volunteers are urgently needed to support and expand MADD’s mission and awareness of impaired driving. It is our hope that these efforts will further our mission to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, serve the victims of these violent crimes, and prevent underage drinking in order to create a world of No More Victims®.
Here’s How You Can Help:
Make a commitment to never drink, or use drugs and get behind the wheel. Choose to never provide alcohol to those under the age of 21. Have ongoing conversations with your children about the dangers of underage drinking and other drugs and the dangers of getting into a vehicle with someone who has been drinking or consuming drugs. When you see an impaired driver, always call 9-1-1. Donate your time, talent or treasure to help create a world of NO MORE VICTIMS®.
