RHIR Partners with the Kansas City Wizards
Kansas City Wizards Embrace the
Responsibility Has Its Rewards National Campaign

back
 

TEAM traveled to Kansas City to film fan responsibility Public Service Announcements (PSAs) with the Kansas City Wizards at their 2009 regular season game against the New England Revolution on Saturday, June 13th. "Wizards Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk" was the universal cheer for all fans at the game at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.

The Kansas City Wizards, Anheuser-Busch and TEAM Coalition partnered to educate fans about the importance of designating a driver, demonstrating positive fan behavior and wearing their seatbelt. And the spokespeople for this important message were the Wizards fans themselves.

US DOT / NHTSA 2008 NATIONAL DATA:

  • In 2008, 11,773 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) car crashes, a decline of 9.7% from the 13,041 fatalities in 2007
  • 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.
