MADD Rebrands Annual Walk to Move With MADD for Impact
MADD Rebrands Its Annual Fundraising Event
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has recently unveiled a new identity for its well-known annual fundraiser, now called Move With MADD. The organization has evolved from its previous Walk Like MADD events to this new title, which emphasizes inclusivity and accessibility for participants of all backgrounds and abilities. This transformation marks a vital step in MADD's ongoing mission to eliminate impaired driving and honor those affected by it.
Highlighting Inclusivity and Accessibility
Move With MADD aims to foster broader community involvement by inviting individuals to take action against impaired driving. The new name not only represents a shift in branding but also encompasses a variety of activities that encourage physical engagement, including 5k walks, competitive races, cycling events, fishing tournaments, and golf contests. By embracing diverse activities, MADD hopes to inspire more communities to join the fight against impaired driving and connect with the mission of enhancing public safety.
The Impact of Impaired Driving
Statistics reveal a sobering fact: every 85 seconds, someone suffers an injury or fatality due to impaired driving. Through Move With MADD, communities are empowered to unite in support of those impacted by this preventable crime, raising awareness, funds, and providing a platform for remembrance. By inviting broader participation, MADD is making strides in creating a space where survivors, victims' families, and advocates can come together to make a difference.
Support Services and Advocacy Efforts
The funds generated through events like Move With MADD are instrumental in supporting MADD's comprehensive 24/7 victim services. These services offer emotional guidance, support during legal proceedings, and connections to additional resources, ensuring that victims and their families receive the assistance they need during trying times. Beyond individual support, the organization’s advocacy efforts focus on promoting crucial anti-drunk driving technology and pushing for stricter laws aimed at preventing substance abuse among young individuals and enhancing community safety.
