GM Foundation Donates $150,000 to MADD

Grant will fund community support services and prevention education

 

 


The General Motors Foundation is donating $150,000 to Mothers Against Drunk Driving to expand prevention education initiatives and provide support services to victims of drunk driving crashes and their families.

In 2011, drunk driving killed more than 9,800 people and injured approximately 315,000. To aid in recovery, MADD provides services to one victim every 8.6 minutes at no charge. Last year alone, 61,000 people received help from the organization.

Since 1995, the GM Foundation has donated grants totaling nearly $3.9 million to support MADD’s drunk-driving prevention and victim recovery work, and to raise awareness on the importance of having a designated driver.

“This contribution will help MADD achieve its mission by allowing us to serve more drunk driving victims and prevent underage drinking,” said MADD National President Jan Withers.

Celebrating 50 years of Malibu


This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Chevrolet Malibu. While often overshadowed by the brand's more iconic nameplates, the Malibu has quite a rich history of its own. The midsize sedan was first introduced in 1964. Since then, eight generations of the car have been made. It is currently the fourth oldest nameplate in the Chevy lineup (preceded by the Suburban, Corvette and Impala).

It has come a long way since 1964.




The current generation boasts a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine, which puts out 65% more power than the original 3.2-liter six-cylinder. Being one of the first midsize cars that was produced, it paved the way for many others to come.
