Walk Like MADD

Since 1980 MADD has made great strides to achieve our mission and we are inviting individual students, college groups or teams, public citizens, the law enforcement community and others to walk a few miles in our shoes – literally!  Each year, MADD hosts Walk Like MADD, a 5K fundraising walks in communities nationwide.

Sign up to participate in a walk near you! Just go to MADD’s website and select a location then click on the "Register as an individual" or "Form a new team" link.   If you can't be at one of our walk sites, you can still be a virtual walker from anywhere, 24 hours a day.

Every step taken and pledge made will help raise funds and awareness for MADD's programs and services that will serve to keep our children and communities safe.

When you become a walker or a virtual walker, you are a part of raising much-needed funds to:

• support programs to help victims cope with their tragedy and loss of a loved one at no charge.
  
• provide legal support to victims as they go through the judicial process.
  
• provide 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).
  
• work 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).
  
• implement educational programs to limit youth alcohol use among elementary, middle school, high school, and college students.
