WAKE UP SAN ANTONIO…ITS NOT A CAR ACCIDENT…it’s a car CRASH!!!

Your child, teenager, or young adult greatest risk of death is in someone else’s hands.

Car crashes (not ‘accidents’) are the No. 1 killer of children, teens and young adults in America.

Now your favorite recording artists, actors and sport athletes are trying to reduce the risks to our children by trying to change the opinions drinking and driving.

 RADD once stood for Recording Artists, Actors, and Athletes Against Drunk Driving, now stands for The Entertainment Industry’s Voice Against Drunk Driving and is best known for its slogan, “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.”

Not to be confused with MADD, or Mothers Against Drunk Driving, RADD is nonprofit organization formed in 1986 that uses celebrity power and public service announcements such as “friends don’t let friends drive drunk” to promote sober driving and road safety.

John Mayer, Barry Bonds, Paul McCartney, Shaquille O’Neal, Warren G, Tim McGraw, Marc Anthony and Gwen Stefani have backed RADD’s road safety efforts and used their voices to get the word out about the importance of having a designated driver.

The goal of RADD is “to reduce fatalities and injuries across all age groups by promoting safe, sober driving and awareness of road safety.”
