Recap from Walk Like MADD 2025
This was another great year for our Temecula Walk Like MADD 2025. It was a beautiful spring windy day . We were well nourished and hydrated from the baked goods, fruit , Starbucks coffee and donuts that our sponsors provided as well as iced tea, lemonade and water. Thanks to our business friends we had the best opportunity drawing ever which raised over 1200.00$ ! Don't forget to check out our business supporter section and consider your patronage to these organizations that give back to our community. I was blessed to have many family and friends there and to see participation from more teams and people supporting MADD. We had 138 participants and including volunteers, MADD staff and venders over 150 people were there supporting us. Arise Yoga provided warm up stretches yoga style. We had reps from our law enforcement friends and I finally got to meet Mike Lassig who was one of the CHP officers involved in Garret's case. Team Garret Caouette R4G raised 8106.00 plus another thousand from our lawyers Panish Shae and Ravipuddi. Overall the walk raised over 10,000$. Special Thanks to the WLM committee; Heidi Chan, Heather Cobbs, and Michelle Naglevoort as well as our teen volunteers from Springs Charter School Temecula Campus. We will be walking in Oxnard in JUNE. Go Team Garret Caouette R4G!

Recap from Walk Like MADD 2024
WOW! This year's MADD walk blew me away. We had at least 150 people from participants to volunteers and vendor booth personal, city of Temecula services staff, law enforcement, and church representatives. Last year I remembered my husband stating that he hoped that that it would grow, and it did. I would guess at least doubled. We had wonderful support from our community businesses as well who donated goods, funds and volunteer hours to our event enabling us to host an awesome raffle that raised over $700.00. This year the Temecula region Walk Like MADD raised $17,274. Team Garret R4G raised $8376.00 and Team Garret, which consisted mostly of students, raised $945.00. Our team Garret R4G were ranked the 4th team in the nation. I am humbled by the Temecula walk like MADD volunteer committee that supported me and MADD in making this event so great this year. Heid Chan, Michelle Naglevoort ; and Heather Cobbs and our MADD Program Manager Cheryl McMahen and the other MADD staff.

Recap from Walk Like MADD event April 1st 2023 in Garrets Honor.
April first 2023 MADD honored Garret by holding a WALK LIKE MADD fundraising event in his honor. We raised $12,845. Team Garret which consisted of our family and friends and others from our Springs Charter School family raised over $4000. Earlier, the week prior, MADD did a presentation for the Temecula Springs Student Center on the dangers of impaired driving. For me, working with MADD and watching the impact that it has on young adults and teens has been uplifting, inspiring and a labor of love.
