In Pennsylvania, Miss America And MADD Team Up To Stop Drunk Driving

PHILADELPHIA - Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and The Miss America Organization launched today the national partnership between MADD and Miss America 2006 Jennifer Berry. As a new MADD national spokesperson, Miss America will promote her platform Building Intolerance to Drunk Driving and Underage Drinking -- the first of its kind in the history of Miss America.

"We are honored to work with Miss America and are excited about the impact she will make," said Glynn Birch, MADD national president. "Jennifer will tackle tough issues that she knows well as a five-year volunteer for MADD on the state and local level in Oklahoma. The more people we can reach together, the more lives we can save."

Miss America will travel the country talking about MADD and its lifesaving goals including reducing drunk driving fatalities by 25 percent, supporting highly visible enforcement efforts, serving more victims/survivors of drunk driving and reducing binge drinking among college students in the next three years.

"MADD's mission is my mission," said Miss America 2006 Jennifer Berry of Tulsa, Okla. "With MADD as my platform partner, I will take every opportunity to raise awareness and educate the public about the dangers and consequences of drunk driving and underage drinking."
