How the Walk Helps
Step by Step Empowering Change
Since 1980 MADD has made great strides to stop drunk driving and we are inviting companies, businesses, and other groups to walk a few miles in our shoes – literally!
300,000 people are alive today and an untold number have received comfort, thanks to the help of caring people like you.
Celebrating 25 years, MADD is a grassroots organization that has grown to become the largest crime victims' assistance organization in the world with more than 3 million members and supporters, likely represented by your company's employees.
Through its programs, services and advocacy efforts, MADD is the driving force behind positive changes that make the roads safer for everyone.
How the Walk Helps
MADD supports your community with monies raised through Walk Like MADD.
- They offer support programs to help victims cope with their tragedy and loss of a loved one at no charge.
- MADD provides legal support to victims as they go through the judicial process.
- MADD provides equipment to local police to better detect and arrest drunk drivers (e.g. preliminary breath testers, passive alcohol sensors, in-vehicle video cameras, signs, lights and cones for setting up sobriety checkpoints).
- MADD is actively working with state and local legislators to adopt tougher laws against drunk driving and closing the loopholes in many existing laws (e.g. .08 BAC limits, administrative license revocation, vehicle immobilization for repeat offenders, graduated driver licensing for youth).
- MADD implements educational programs to limit youth alcohol use among elementary, middle school, high school, and college students.
