Weston, FL – May 17, 2018: Mothers Against Drunk Driving in Florida (MADD Florida) announces their state-wide annual Law Enforcement Recognition Ceremony and Training Symposium set for July 27^th and 28^th at the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort.

“Every year, our state-wide nominations recognize more than 350 heroes in Florida who are making our community safe from drunk, drugged and substance-impaired driving,” states Florida Executive Director, David Pinsker.

The nominations culminate with a Recognition Ceremony and Dinner in which all nominees are acknowledged and top honorees in each nomination category are named.

MADD Florida continues to bring awareness and advocates to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support victims of these 100% preventable crimes and prevent underage drinking.
