The Georgia affiliate of Mothers Against Drunk Driving recently received $138,00 from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety for the 2020 grant year, according to a press release.
MADD will use the funds to continue to offer educational programs for prevention and awareness of impaired driving and underage drinking with the Power of Parents and Power of You(th) programs. The grant provides much-needed resources to reduce the occurrence of drunk and drugged driving throughout the state by proving DUI prevention initiatives for law enforcement, military, educational, and community groups. MADD will utilize these monies to support GOHS campaigns such as Hand Across the Border, Click It Or Ticket and law enforcement recognition events, including MADD Georgia’s Annual Golden Shield Honors. MADD serves as a team member on the state’s Impaired Driving and Young Adult Driving Task Forces.
The grant year for this award started on October 1, 2019 and runs until September 30, 2020.
Founded by a mother whose daughter was killed by a drunk driver, Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) is the nation’s largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking.
