About Us
Welcome to MADD California!
It is our pleasure to provide ready access to a host of information on the organization and our goals. This includes support to Victims/Survivors of the violent crime of drunk driving, educational programs and services, and several opportunities for you to support our efforts, be it a financial donation, or gift of your precious time.
Founded nearly 30 years ago by a local mother who needlessly lost her 13 year old daughter at the hands of a repeat drunk driver, MADD is now Nationwide. We are no longer “just a group of mothers”, but now mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, and other community members who want to save lives and keep the roadways safe. MADD continues to be a grassroots organization, and continues to address the challenges of drunk driving – the tragedy of lives lost or changed forever, the implementation and enforcement of effective laws, and the awareness and acknowledgement of society that drunk driving is simply not acceptable.
As you explore this MADD California site, please know that each member of the MADD staff is dedicated to the mission of MADD.
