We've heard the slogans since elementary school, we see the signs, we know it's dangers, we are constantly reminded of the horrors associated with drunk driving through various media day in and day out. One organization that has exemplified this and taken it to the next level is "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" (MADD).
MADD was created in September of 1980 in order to aid the victims of crimes of driving under the influence, and support families that have been struck with such tragedies.
"The mission of MADD is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking."
When the organization was founded, it started as just a grieving mother who was determined to inspire volunteers to also fight against drunk driving, but it has evolved into an effective organization that has helped to save the lives on many. MADD focuses on educating and advocating the effects of drunk driving in hopes to save more lives in the years to come.
