Amazon will sponsor iconic community events in Chicago, Houston, and Dallas, combining safety education, technology, and local actions to help end impaired driving.
Irving, Texas, September 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mothers Against Drunk Driving (a motherhood organization against drunk driving, referred to as MADD) today announced a new partnership with Amazon. Amazon will sponsor key “Move With MADD” events in Chicago, Houston, and Dallas. “Move With MADD” invites people of all abilities to participate through walking, running, cycling, and other means to honor the victims and survivors, while also providing funding for MADD for its year-round, 24/7 free services, education, advocacy, and prevention programs for victims.
The announcement states that this collaboration will combine MADD's leadership in ending impaired driving with Amazon's focus on road safety and innovation, creating new opportunities for community engagement, dissemination of practical safety information, and support for those affected by impaired driving accidents. Through this sponsorship, Amazon will enhance the experience of events across various locations and expand the reach of MADD's mission to save lives.
According to the announcement, this collaboration aims to transform shared values into tangible local actions. In these three sponsored events, MADD and Amazon plan to expose participants to road safety education and interactive experiences, reinforcing responsible choices while driving. Both parties stated that this collaboration also provides a platform to explore how training, technology, and community involvement can work together to promote safer driving and help prevent tragedies before they occur.
MADD CEO Stacey D. Stewart states: "Ending impaired driving requires the commitment of all of us – families, advocates, community leaders, and businesses – to put safety first. Amazon's support will help us engage more people across the country, as well as in Chicago, Houston, and Dallas, through community initiatives. Equally important is that this collaboration demonstrates how innovation and community action can be combined to inspire safer choices and save lives."
