Maritime Chevy &Mothers Against Drunk Driving 

Each year, it’s estimated that there are 300,000 driving incidents related to drinking and driving on the road. The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MAAD) is to help put a stop to drunk driving, support the victims associated with driving under the influence, and prevent underage drinking. Since their founding in 1980, deaths related to drunk driving have declined roughly 50% as a direct result of their influence. 

For the month of May, Maritime Chevy is excited to be partnering with MAAD, Connecticut in order to raise funds in support of their cause. We take pride in the promotion of safe driving, both in reference to vehicle safety features and the safety of their drivers and passengers. For every vehicle purchased this month, we will be donating a portion of proceeds to MAAD, CT. We will also be allowing our customers to round-up their totals in our Service Department, should you wish to contribute as well. 

Mothers Against Drunk Driving is a vital part of our community, having saved more than 370,000 lives and helped nearly 900,000 victims since their inception. Their plan to eliminate drunk driving includes prevention by high visibility law enforcement and ignition interlock devices. As technology advances, the hope is that newer autonomous vehicles and drunk driving prevention technology will become more prevalent and vital in the fight against driving under the influence.
