The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking.
MADD is launching a major new offensive in the war against drunk driving through its Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving. The goal of the Campaign is simple, focused and possible: a nation without drunk driving.

MADD Southwestern Ohio Chapter was founded on December 6, 1981 , as the result of the deaths of 14 year old Ken Watson on October 16, 1981 , and 17 year old Julie Taylor on November 7, 1981 . The travesty of the criminal justice system - neither of the drivers spent one night in jail - prompted the mothers of these two children to begin a MADD chapter to stop the senseless deaths and injuries caused by drinking and driving. As MADD Southwestern Ohio enters our 27th year we are grateful to see so much reduction in the percentage of drunk driving deaths and underage alcohol consumption. There has been the passage of many new laws and a new public awareness about how prevalent these problems are yet there is still so much to be done .
As you navigate around our website please remember that there are still hundreds of preventable deaths in the state of Ohio every year. Please take a moment to pledge your support by clicking on the Donate Locally link at the top of this page.
