MADD Kicks Off Holiday Campaign

MADD Fights Holiday Drunk Driving

Wilmington, NC - In an effort to combat the sharp increase in drunk driving fatalities that occur around the holiday season, a MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) group from Wilmington kicked off a special holiday campaign.

With almost 400 deaths in the state of North Carolina last year, the group has plenty of motivation for their efforts. The Wilmington MADD group paired with the law enforcement of New Hanover County for "Tie One on for Safety." The campaign motivates citizens to tie a red ribbon to their cars to increase awareness about being cautious on the roads during the holiday season.
