Last weekend Yellow Cab Houston sponsored Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD’s) third annual “Woodlands Walk Like MADD®” event. The 5k “MADD dash” and walk took place at North Shore Park. Attendance doubled from last year with over 500 registered walkers and participants filling the scenic park on a sunny Saturday morn.
Yellow Cab and its affiliates were invited to park vehicles on Law Enforcement Row among State Trooper vehicles, Blood Alcohol Testing (BAT) vans and various other local patrols. The event was filled with tents of local law enforcement agencies, families celebrating the lives of loved ones and local health and safety vendors. Children were invited to get their faces painted, jump around in the bounce house and enjoy the many family-friendly activities and resources.

“We really try to make it a celebration for people’s loved ones,” says Heather Smith, special events manager for Southeast Texas MADD. “It’s fun, but also driven by our mission. People not only get the chance to know the cause, but also come to enjoy the atmosphere.”
Team Yellow Cab Cares boasted nearly 20 members, including employees, friends, family and our team partners. Yellow Cab Houston is proud to have a company full of caring individuals who spend their free time supporting local causes. A huge thanks to SpeedPro Imaging North Houston for always supporting our community efforts!
Many attendees came by the Yellow Cab Houston booth to pick up squishy cabs and fill out a red memorial ribbon. Attendees were invited to write the name(s) of a loved one who had lost their life or been affected by a drunk driver on a ribbon and place it on the promotional Jeep. The memorial ribbons will remain on the Jeep as a powerful reminder of those affected by someone’s poor decision-making.
Yellow Cab Houston is proud to partner with MADD and support its efforts to eliminate drunk driving. Marketing Representative Stephanie has had the pleasure of speaking on panels presented by the organization to help inform the community of the convenience of taking a cab as a smarter alternative to drinking and driving. Our HAIL A CAB™ app makes it faster and easier than ever to catch a cab here in Houston. HAIL A CAB™ 3.0 is coming soon so make sure to be on the lookout for our newest update!
