Become a FriendInDeed

MADD is please to announce FriendsInDeed. This exciting new initiative is possible because of your support, and we thank you for helping make this dream a reality.  A larger volunteer base helps us extend our reach into the Central Texas area, and will bring us closer to our vision of a state without drunk driving

Visit the Courts
MADD's presence is powerful  - Ensuring that drunk driving offenders are punished to the fullest extent of the law by monitoring court cases and reporting outcomes to the community and media.

Roll Up Your Sleeves
Join MADD members in hosting public awareness at community events such as parades, fairs, safe proms and graduation events.

Tie One On
Distribute MADD red ribbons to encourage people not to drink and drive. Tie a MADD red ribbon or place a static decal on your vehicle to show your commitment to drive safe and sober.

Build a Team
Coordinate a team of people to create change at the local level. All too frequently we hear from folks about a problem with lack of DWI prosecution or other alcohol violations in their area - write letters, contact you local paper and media, raise awareness and mobilize voters!

Be a Role Model
