Prevention Education works!
For the 3rd year in a row, our UAD (Underage Drinking Prevention)
Program is excited and proud to share that after following up with all the schools we spoke at this year, there was only 1 known episode of drinking at prom with zero injuries or impaired driving incidents across multiple schools and thousands of students!
Talk to your kids, give them real information, and help them make the safest, healthiest decision they can.

Email [email protected] to get your school on our Prevention education schedule today.

At MADD, we love a music-filled summer—but only when everyone gets home safely.

Whether it’s alcohol, cannabis, or anything else that affects your ability to drive, impaired driving is never worth the risk.

Before the party starts, make a plan:
✅ Choose a sober driver
✅ Use a rideshare service
✅ Stay the night

Because nothing interrupts summer fun faster than a siren. Drive sober, live fully, and help keep the good times rolling—for everyone.

Thank you to our Safe Summer presenting sponsor, Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers , for helping us spread this lifesaving message.

We have finally wrapped up Prom Season 2026 here in South Carolina. We traveled hundreds of miles, and spoke with thousands of teens, teachers, staff and parents about preventing underage drinking and impaired driving. We reached new schools this year, including Sumter High School, Gray Collegiate Academy, Northwestern High School and Rock Hill High School, and returned to many others.
We thank our friends at WRHI Radio, the various law enforcement agencies we partnered with and all those who see the value of prevention education for making South Carolina a safer and healthier place for us all to live.
