Mothers Against Drunk Driving

M.A.D.D. That stands for ... Mothers Against Drunk Driving!
Mothers Against Drunk Driving is "the nation's largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving, drugged driving and underage drinking" (1).
Primarily operating in the United States and Canada, Mothers Against Drunk Driving played a large role in reducing the limit for blood alcohol levels from BAC .10 to BAC .08.
Since Mothers Against Drunk Driving was founded in 1980, the amount of people "killed in drunk driving crashes" (2) has gone down to less than half of what it once was.
Weekly Charity is not officially working with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, but highly encourages helping them out.
Now for some statistics:
Charity Navigator gives Mothers Against Drunk Driving: 2 out of 4 stars
Mothers Against Drunk Driving meets 20/20 of the BBB Wise Giving Alliance's Standards for Charity Accountability.
