The TEAM Coalition and the National Basketball Association are supporting the designated driver programs at all NBA arenas during the 2008/09 season with a special incentive. Every arena offers fans a designated driver booth program. Fans who register to be a designated driver pledge to not drink alcohol, drive their friends and family home safely, and ensure that everyone always buckles up.

At the end of the season, one designated driver representing each NBA team will be selected. The Designated Drivers for the Season from the teams that play in the NBA Finals will each receive a grand prize of two (2) tickets to the first game of the NBA Finals played in the arena of their favorite team. And one of the Designated Drivers for the Season representing an NBA team not competing in the NBA Finals will win a trip to the 2010 NBA All Star Game. Click here for sweepstakes rules.

TEAM and the NBA produced 3 radio Public Service Announcements for the 2008/09 campaign.
