 MEMORIAL GARDEN –Victim Healing Place

MADD was chartered in Lane County on March 3, 1983.  Since then we have:

      promoted public awareness campaigns,

      funded bill boards and bus boards, red ribbon and designated driver campaigns, and medi
         campaigns (to name a few.) 

become a community resource for the schools in the county, educating young students about the risks of drunk driving by speaking, holding contests or sponsoring school assemblies.

 Our objective is to stop drunk driving, support victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking.

 We have worked hard on public awareness and student education.  We need to do more for victims.

               WHY A MADD MEMORIAL GARDEN?

IT IS TIME!

For the past 23 years, our volunteers have listened to the outpouring of grief from families and friends of innocent victims of drunk driving.

Many have expressed a desire to have a peaceful spot set aside to honor those who have died – a garden in which to seek solace.  We agree.
