SUMMARY: On New Year’s Eve, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is emphasizing the dangers of driving under the influence as many prepare to celebrate. Advocate Never Weinstein, whose son David was killed by a drunk driver, stresses the importance of awareness year-round, not just during holidays. MADD is promoting safe planning, encouraging partygoers to arrange alternative transportation like Uber or Lyft. To support victims, a fundraiser at Waterway car washes in St. Louis is underway, where donations will assist MADD’s educational programs. MADD is distributing red ribbons to symbolize a commitment to preventing impaired driving and saving lives.

As many are getting ready to ring in the new year, the group Mothers Against Drunk Driving is working to warn everyone of the dangers of driving under the influence.
