“If you’re going to drink, have a designated driver,” said Yolanda Holmes the State Director of MADD.
Holmes said MADD has four differnt programs, they are things like education and victim services. In 2020, the group is looking to add one more.
“We can go into middle schools, high schools, and universities, educating kids and teenagers and young adults about the science of alcohol.
