About Us

About Our Organization

Americans United Against Destructive Driving (AUADD) battles the scourages of destructive driving in three ways. Teen prevention education, Legislative action, and Victim services. Together, they create a powerful and proven formula. Together with our supporters we will continue to save lives using these three tools.

Once you view our about us video, please click on any page to view our first Public Service Announcement (PSA). The subject is our car donation program. A teen receives his first car, and is moved to donate it to his neighbor, due to her vehicle being totalled (first seen) in a destructive driving crime. We don’t call the “accidents”.  When someone decides to get behind the wheel and drive destructively, that is not an accident…that is a CRIME!

As Vice President, I am committed to driving our mission for safer roads forward. Together, we’ll make a real impact and create a safer, more secure future for all.

Our Team

Being a 100% volunteer organization since our inception in 2003 (TADD), our volunteers are the most valuable asset we have. Without these kind and generous people, we would not be able to do the critical work that we do, 7 days a week.
