Note the time. Watch it tick forward for the next 50 minutes.
Then, know that in that time, drunk driving has claimed another innocent life — another mother or father, sister or brother, friend or coworker.
It’s a race against time, and we are fighting back with the inaugural Raise Against Time, 50 hours of virtual supporter fundraisers on Facebook starting Nov. 7th.
We are asking every Facebook friend to host a virtual fundraiser Nov. 7th and 8th. Simply invite 10 friends to donate $10. If that happens, we will raise $10,497 to represent the lives stolen in 2016 by drunk driving.
Those funds will support victims and survivors, advocate for stronger laws, support law enforcement and move advanced vehicular technology to the market faster.
If you’ve already RSVP’ed to the event, thank you for joining. Below you will find tips and tools to make your fundraiser successful.

Since the new drunk driving fatality numbers have come out, the clock has started spinning even faster. Now, someone dies every 50 minutes, a minute faster than last year, several minutes faster than the year before. Feels like we are in a race against time. That's why I am asking you to join me Nov. 7th and 8th to Raise Against Time with MADD. Will you join my campaign?
