Approximately 450 people attended the 2019 MADD Tennessee Statewide Night of Remembrance and Awards Ceremony held on December 12, 2019, at the Nashville Airport Marriott. The evening began with a greeting from MADD Tennessee State Program Director, Phaedra Marriott-Olsen. She spoke of the 10,511 fatalities in 2018 across our nation resulting from impaired driving and shared that, i<\/span>n Tennessee alone, we lost 380 lives and had 5,257 injuries due to crashes involving alcohol impaired drivers or drivers who had used drugs. She then told the crowd which consisted of victims and law enforcement from across the state, “This<\/span> is unacceptable! I am so incredibly sorry that you know the painful ache in your hearts and devastation to your families firsthand.” She added, “<\/span>YOU always have a place at MADD. Your loved ones, your families, your friends \u2013 THEY always have a place at MADD. MADD will not stop working until there are No More Victims.”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
