RHIR Partners with Anheuser-Busch at MLS Cup 2006 at Pizza Hut Park

 
Major League Soccer and Anheuser-Busch are proud to join forces with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management Coalition (TEAM) on the Responsibility Has Its Rewards (RHIR) national campaign. Throughout the 2006 MLS season, each team offered fans the opportunity to pledge to be a designated driver at the home stadium of their favorite MLS team. At the end of the season, each MLS team selected one fan to be their Designated Driver of the 2006 Season. Over 5,000 fans across the league participated in this life-saving program. The designated drivers of the season for the two teams that competed in MLS Cup 2006 attended the game (including transportation and hotel accommodations) compliments of Major League Soccer. The designated driver for the season from the Houston Dynamo was Rod Sloan. And the designated driver for the season from the New England Revolution was Gail Crawford.

Another prize was awarded to one of the designated drivers of the season whose team did not compete in MLS Cup 2006. The designated driver of the season for the Kansas City Wizards, Bob Hartnett, will receive a trip to the 2007 Sierra Mist MLS All-Star Game at Dick's Sporting Goods Field, the new home of the Colorado Rapids in Denver, CO.
