Mission Statement

                                                   

The Mission of the Matt’s Dream Foundation is to educate adults on the dangers of alcohol, and the impact that Drinking and Driving has on the family and friends of the victims. Our main focus is on the 21 and over drivers.

Purpose

                                      

Our Purpose is to develop a resource to join concerned parents and families and work together for positive change regarding alcohol issues.  We must work together to protect our families from the devastation that alcohol brings. As parents and family members unite into "one voice," positive change in alcohol policies, education, prevention, and treatment will take place.  We encourage communities to get involved by writing letters and making phone calls to local Legislators regarding alcohol problems in their communities. When parents speak up and speak out, policies change.
