"The positive contributions made by TEAM are far reaching. Its mission is important to fans and spectators in stadiums, but its message also contributes to responsible conduct in our communities at large. The NFL strongly supports the TEAM program, and we are proud to be a member of the TEAM Coalition. "
--—Roger Goodell, Commissioner National Football League

The National Football League, MillerCoors and HERO Campaign proudly joined forces with Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management
Coalition (TEAM) on the Responsibility Has Its Rewards (RHIR) national campaign. The partnership included efforts at the 2011 Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Hi,
the NFL Experience at the Dallas Convention Center and Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in North Texas. Throughout the 2010 NFL season, each team offered
fans the opportunity to pledge to be a designated driver. At
the end of the season, each NFL team selected one fan to be their
Designated Driver For the 2010 Season.
Over 170,000 fans across the league participated in this life-saving program. The Designated Drivers For the Season for
the Pittsburgh Steelers - Joan McConnell and the Green Bay Packers - Drew Muhich - attended Super Bowl XLV (including transportation and hotel accommodations) compliments
of TEAM Coalition and the NFL.
Another prize was awarded to the Designated Driver For the Season from the Buffalo Bills - Barbara Owczarczak.
Barbara received a trip
to the 2011 Pro Bowl in Honolulu, HI.

US DOT / NHTSA 2009 NATIONAL DATA:
- In 2009, 10,839 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) car crashes, a decline of 7.4% from the 11,711 fatalities in 2008
- Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.
- Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
