New Brunswickers donate more than $44,000
to support MADD Canada
Alcool NB Liquor customers showed their
support for the efforts of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Canada to
stop impaired driving by donating $44,107 between Nov. 26 and Dec. 3.
Alcool NB Liquor staff asked customers to
make a $1 donation to MADD Canada during the seven-day campaign.
"The response to Alcool NB Liquor’s prompted
donation campaign from New Brunswickers was overwhelming," said
Dana Clendenning, president and CEO of Alcool NB Liquor. "The people of New

Andy Murie, CEO of MADD Canada. "Half of the $44,107 raised will be used to
support MADD Canada’s high school
multimedia programs in English and French, and the other half will go to
MADD Canada’s New Brunswick chapters to
support Campaign 911 programs in their communities."
Alcool NB Liquor previously held a three-day
donation campaign on the weekend of Sept. 3-5.
"On the weekend of Sept. 3-5, our retail
staff collected $30,587 in donations from New Brunswickers," said
Clendenning.
"This is a clear indication of the interest in MADD Canada’s mandate, and I
would personally like to thank the public for supporting this important
community cause."
