Who We Are
Our Mission, Values, and Goals
Airmen Against Drunk Driving (AADD) is a Private Organization, established in October 2022. We are a non-profit organization providing free rides to those affiliated with the DOD, with base access, that have been drinking and either had no plan to get home, or the plan(s) they had fell through.
AADD is not a taxi service and only provides rides from where the individual is to their residence, within 20 miles of the bases, or where the driver is located. This not only prevents DUIs but keeps the members and community safe.
Our Mission
Airmen Against Drunk Driving (AADD) is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of military members, their dependents, and the local community. Our mission is to eradicate incidents of drinking and driving by providing accessible, responsible, and community-driven transportation solutions. Through volunteerism and education, we empower those affiliated with the DOD and with base access to make responsible choices, reducing the risk of DUIs and creating a safer environment for all.
This mission statement encapsulates your organization's commitment to preventing drinking and driving incidents, promoting responsible behavior, and fostering a sense of community while emphasizing the importance of safety and accessibility.
