Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) captured the nation's attention when it was created in 1980. The purpose of this groundbreaking organization: to stop drunk driving and serve the victims of this violent crime. During the next two decades, U.S. alcohol-related fatalities declined by more than 40 percent. While more than 330,000 lives have been saved with MADD's help, progress has stalled in recent years. More than 13,000 people are killed annually by drunk drivers. These deaths, together with more than half-a-million injuries, are 100 percent preventable.
