Ontario Against Drunk Driving (OADD) is not affiliated with Madd

 See About OADD

 History:
The organization was founded by Doug Abernethy in November 1994, as a direct result of the tragic and senseless death of his
 15-year-old brother Tim Abernethy who was killed by a drunk driver.  The organization was never affiliated with Madd although our goal is the same, which is to reduce and eliminate impaired driving. 

Background:
The mission of Ontario Against Drunk Driving is to save lives that are tragically lost at the hands of drunk drivers through education and public awareness. Doug Abernethy founded Orillia Against Drunk Driving in memory of his 15-year-old brother Tim. Tim was a bright and responsible young man whose life was tragically ended in a drunk-driving crash when he was only 15 years old. Orillia Against Drunk Driving and the RAID campaign are dedicated to him.  Ontario Against Drunk Driving and RAID are aggressively working to focus resources to inform people about the dangers of drinking and driving and the threat impaired drivers pose to the community. Until that threat can be reduced and hopefully one day be eliminated, the campaigns and programs the organization operate will continue.
We have worked to reduce and eliminate drunk driving since 1994 and we will not stop now.
