Fundraising/Events
Fundraising volunteers participate in exciting special events and annual awareness campaigns and/or support key fundraising initiatives.

WALK like MADD – WALK like MADD (previously Strides for Change) is an annual 5K walk event that raises awareness and funds for MADD’s continuing work. Volunteers will visit area companies to solicit sponsorships and/or in-kind donations (water, fruit, snacks, for example), and make presentations to area companies and civic organizations to garner support for the event and to encourage the creation of teams. Volunteers and team leaders are also needed to assist with writing and distributing media alerts and press releases, encourage walk teams and keep them up to date on the progress of fundraising goals, attend the walk event, and serve as greeters, booth coordinators, walkers or even as WALK like MADD leaders.

MADD in Motion – Usually held as an early morning or luncheon event, MADD in Motion is a one-hour presentation during which we have the opportunity to showcase MADD issues and activities to a group or civic organization. Volunteers are needed to help create the agenda, schedule presenters or make presentations, identify and recruit table captains, work with staff on location and menu selection, solicit in-kind donations for the event (such as table decorations or small gifts for participants) and attend the event to serve as greeter, table captain or other capacity as needed.

Tie One On for Safety – Tie One On For Safety is a holiday fundraising event in which MADD offers a red ribbon to participants who agree to tie it to their vehicle as a pledge not to drink and drive – especially during the holiday season. Volunteers are needed to work with staff to develop locations and event programs, assist with coordination of event logistics, help prepare information and materials for the press, solicit in-kind donations for decorations, food, and other event items and attend the events to assist where needed.

Memorial Giving – Memorial Giving is an outreach program to assist funeral homes in providing support to victims and their families. Volunteers will assist staff with maintenance of the area funeral home database, make recurring visits to area funeral homes to deliver literature and explain the services MADD can provide to victims of drunk driving and to occasionally contact funeral homes to determine if additional materials are needed.

Year End Appeal – At the end of every year, MADD sends out a letter to individuals, businesses, civic organizations and others soliciting funds and support for our continued activities. Volunteers are needed to help prepare and mail out this very important annual appeal.
