MADD Plans Walk, Rally against Drunk Driving

The MADD Long Island Affiliate of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) will host its signature Walk Like MADD non-competitive 5K fundraising walk in Farmingdale on Saturday.

The walk begins at 10 a.m. at the Great Lawn at Farmingdale State College and will raise funds and rally support for MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving.

Funds raised through Walk Like MADD help further MADD’s mission and the Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving, which calls for high-visibility law enforcement, ignition interlocks or “in-car breathalyzers” for all convicted drunk drivers and support for the development of advanced technology to turn cars into the cure for drunk driving

“We encourage families, and groups of friends and co-workers, to lace up their sneakers and join us for this year’s walk,” said Denise Devlin, Senior Development Officer. “With everyone’s help, we can and will eliminate drunk driving — a 100 percent preventable crime.”
