Nearly 75 people attended the Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash Fort Lauderdale 5K Wrap Party on August 17 to celebrate its record-breaking year. The annual 5K event raised more than $227,000 this year bringing the six-year total to nearly $1 million in support of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), which is the nation’s largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking. At the wrap party, guests enjoyed bites courtesy of Road Guardian Sponsor Greenspoon Marder Law and “mock-tails” provided by Title Sponsor La Croix Water.
