"Be the Ultimate Team Player - Be a Designated Driver" was the universal cheer for all Green Bay Packers fans at the first pre season game of the 2008 season on Monday, August 11, 2008 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI.

The Green Bay Packers, Miller Brewing Company, and TEAM Coalition partnered to educate fans about the importance of designating a driver and demonstrating positive fan behavior. And the spokespeople for this important message were the Packers fans themselves.

US DOT / NHTSA 2007 NATIONAL DATA:
  • In 2007, 12,998 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) car crashes, a decline od 3.7% from the 13,491 fatalities in 2006
  • Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.
  • Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
