The Resurrection of MADD in Washington State

MADD Washington In Seattle, in all of Washington State in fact, Mothers Against Drunk Driving was a volunteer-only organization until July of 2012 when MADD hired its first paid-staff member. For years MADD Seattle had struggled to provide services in Washington State. A few faithful and dedicated volunteers were able to provide services in isolated pockets, but were unable to provide help and support to victim/survivors of drunk driving accidents in the rest of the state.

Mischelle began working as a MADD volunteer in Seattle in 2009. She quickly saw that financial concerns and a lack of personnel were preventing MADD from being able to execute on its mission in Washington State -- fundraising and full-time staff were the core requirements for MADD Washington’s future success.

So in 2011 Davis lead the efforts to organize MADD’s first Walk Like MADD fundraising walk in Seattle. With the help of KOMO TV and Radio the event was a huge success and over $30,000 was raised which made it possible to hire a full-time MADD staff person in 2012.

Many believe that without Mischelle’s help, MADD would not have been able to make such a dramatic come-back in Washington. In September 2012, Mischelle was invited to speak at MADD’s National Convention in Washington DC and to share the story of MADD’s turnaround in Washington State.

After the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, MADD Washington held its first event in over two years, with Davis Law Group as proud sponsors. As MADD continues to recover and make their annual walk as big as it was pre-pandemic, Davis Law Group has increased support to become a name sponsor for Walk Like MADD. With the funds, planning help and advertising donated by Chris and Mischelle Davis, and the marketing team, the event has continued to grow and we hope to see an even bigger event each year.
