TEAM Coalition and the National Basketball Association^® joined together in support of designated driver programs at all NBA arenas during the 2008-2009 season with a special incentive. 60,000 fans registered to be a designated driver, pledging not to drink alcohol, to drive their friends and family home safely, and to ensure that everyone always buckles up.

At the end of the season, one designated driver from each arena was selected to represent the home team for that arena.

A trip to the 2010 NBA All Star Game^® in Dallas, TX was awarded to Sandi Kuritzky, the Cleveland Cavaliers Designated Driver for the Season. Kuritzky was chosen randomly from the remaining 28 Desingated Drivers of the Season. The All Star Game^® trip includes two (2) tickets to All Star Saturday, two (2) tickets the the All Star Game, roundtrip airfare, and hotel accommodations. Click here for last year's winners.
