Local High Schools Show MADD Love For Mothers Against Drunk Driving—You Can, Too!


High school students in Dallas, Plano, McKinney and Fort Worth have teamed up with the local family eatery, The Purple Cow Diner, to show MADD love for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). On Valentine’s Day—Thu, Feb 14—all three Metroplex Purple Cow Diner locations will donate 15 percent of the night’s sales to the school’s Walk Like MADD fundraising efforts.

The MADD North Texas Chapter will host Walk Like MADD, a 5K non-competive walk on April 19 at William’s Square in Irving. The high schools hosting these special MADD nights at The Purple Cow Diner are Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas; McKinney Boyd High School in McKinney; Plano West Senior High School in Plano; and Western Hills High School in Fort Worth. Each of these schools have formed Walk Like MADD teams in conjunction with their Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) on-campus clubs.

What can you do to show your MADD love? Take your valentine out for a world-class burger and shake at your local Purple Cow Diner. Visit the Web site to find a location near you, and check out the diner's online menu—we recommend either the Portabella Mushroom Sandwich (with grilled onions, peppers and Provolone) or the Five Alarm Burger (with hot pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, salsa, chipolte mayonnaise and a secret seasoning). Put out the fire with a vanilla milkshake (or an Alka-Seltzer, sold for $.50!).

Or, you can register as a walker (or join an existing team) for Walk Like MADD, a 5K non-competive walk on April 19 at William’s Square in Irving. After you register as a walker, you can create a personal Web page to show what this cause means to you and your family.

Whatever your calling, this is an easy (and delicious) cause for your whole family to support.

Actually, SADD is "Students Against Destructive Decisions" and is not affiliated with MADD, although SADD chapters at high schools sometimes work with regional MADD chapters.
