Arizona Color Promotions Teams Up With MADD for 2008 Safety Campaign, Kicking Off at the Super Bowl PHOENIX--(Business Wire)--With a donation of 25 vehicle wraps, Arizona Color Promotions is helping Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) promote responsible driving throughout 2008, kicking off at this year's Super Bowl. The company designed and produced wraps bearing MADD's message, "Drive Safe and Sober," which will appear for the rest of the year on Discount Cab fleet taxis. Phoenix-based Discount Cab donated the vehicles for the campaign. The company owns the exclusive rights to pick up customers at Westgate City Center and University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., where the Super Bowl takes place on Sunday, Feb. 3. "We are extremely pleased to promote MADD's worthy mission around the Valley for the rest of the year," says Jim McClure, president of Arizona Color Promotions. "I can think of no better way of doing this than applying the wraps to Discount Cab vehicles, which will have an especially high profile at the biggest football game of the year." Arizona Color Promotions designed wraps for two separate applications: a full coverage on 10 vehicles and partial coverage on the remaining 15. The company uses products from 3M Corp. specially manufactured for vehicle wrapping. Designs are produced on a large-scale printer and applied by technicians at the company's facility in Phoenix. Each vehicle wrapping takes about one day to complete and can last for as long as three years. Ericka Espino, executive director of MADD Arizona, said, "This project will go far toward publicizing the dangers and costs of drunk driving, which is 100 percent preventable. We appreciate these companies putting their best feet forward to remind everyone else not to put their feet behind the wheel after drinking." "Reducing the number of drunk drivers is perhaps the best way to promote safety for everyone on the road," adds Jeff de Laveaga, director of business development for Discount Cab. "MADD understands the human toll caused by drunk driving, and its message deserves maximum exposure. That's why we are happy to lend a portion of our fleet to this cause." During Super Bowl week, approximately 150,000 tourists are expected in Arizona, which recently enacted some of the toughest drunk-driving laws in the nation. The state levels costly fines and a minimum sentence of 45 days in jail for so-called "superextreme" offenders whose blood-alcohol concentration registers 0.20 or above.
