Project Red Ribbon

This November-December campaign is MADD Canada's most visible and successful public awareness program. Each annual campaign involves the nation-wide distribution of millions of red ribbons to encourage the general public not to drink and drive. In 1998 the campaign extended to the MADD Canada website, when the Project Red Ribbon webpage was launched.

There are two good reasons to tie a red ribbon on a motor vehicle. The first is to show respect for the thousands of Canadians who have lost their lives or who have been injured due to alcohol related crashes. The second reason is to remind people to drive sober through the holidays and throughout the year.

Project Red Ribbon is a commitment by Canadians to drive safe and sober. It is a highly visible, community public awareness program which utilizes volunteer participation in promotion of the message that impaired driving deaths and injuries are needless tragedies and totally preventable.

Each year, from the period of November 1st to the first Monday past January 1st, MADD Canada volunteers across the country ask motorists to tie a red ribbon to a visible location on their vehicle. This simple act to "Tie One on for Safety" has quickly become MADD Canada's most widely known public awareness effort. The funds raised through this program are vital to the continued growth and development at the local as well as national levels.
