“Every 51 minutes, on average, an individual is killed in a drunk driving crash and Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve is the nation’s most dangerous time of the year for car accidents,” said Nick Ray, state director of MADD Arizona. “During this past Thanksgiving weekend alone, DUI task forces in Arizona made 372 DUI arrests.”
Let's reduced these staggering statistics and encourage responsible driving during the holiday season and throughout the year. Starting today through January 1, Larry H. Miller Dodge Peoria will match customers’ donations to the campaign up to $20,000.
“Responsible operation of a vehicle is essential and we’re proud to support MADD in reminding drivers to make smart decisions during the holidays,” said Dean Fitzpatrick, president of LHM Dealerships.
The funds will go directly to MADD Arizona to support the victims and survivors of drunk driving crashes, which occur once every eight minutes nationwide. Red ribbons and “Tie One on For Safety” buttons will be worn by LHM associates and given to customers as a reminder to designate a sober driver before getting together with family and friends this holiday season.
“On behalf of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the victims we serve and the community members to whom we provide educational programs, we thank Larry H. Miller Dealerships for stepping up and supporting our 2014 Tie One On For Safety campaign,” said Ray. For more information about MADD or the "Tie One On For Safety" campaign, visit www.madd.org/az.
