While on a boy scout hike, in Sep. 2018, 12-year-old Andrew McMorris was struck and killed by a drunk driver. Friday at an Assembly committee hearing on impaired driving, the McMorris family traveled to Albany to tell lawmakers Andrew's story.

The McMorris family of Wading River recently joined Mothers Against Drunk Driving to honor Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-Brooklyn) for his efforts last year to help advance legislation to increase drunk driving prevention technology.

The Andrew McMorris Foundation is proud to be a sponsor of the Long Island MADD Battle of the High School Jazz Bands at NYCB Theatre at Westbury on June 15 at 6:30 PM. Join us for raffles, MADD guest speakers, and lots of music and fun!

The Andrew McMorris Foundation was honored to present MADD’s Legislative Hero award to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for his leadership in making drunk driving prevention technology part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The Andrew McMorris Foundation will be helping MADD present U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader, with its “Legislative Hero” award for his commitment to saving lives by advancing automotive safety technology on Friday, May 20, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. The award will be presented at West Hills County Park by AMF’s Alisa McMorris and MADD volunteer Sheila Lockwood, whose 23-year-old son Austin was killed by a drunk driver in 2018.

New York State residents: MADD and AMF need your help to pass three bills that will help stop impaired driving in our state. Drunk driving increased during the pandemic: from 2019 to 2020, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drunk driving deaths increased from 256 to 283—an 11% increase! Lawmakers must advance DWI reforms to ensure New York roadways are safe for all residents.

The Andrew McMorris Foundation was honored today to go with MADD NY to ring the closing bell on the New York Stock Exchange. We are so thankful for the tremendous support MADD has provided us ever since we lost Andrew to a drunk driver and this was such an amazing experience to promote MADD. We will forever be united with MADD to do whatever we can to ensure what happened to us to never happen to anyone else. We look forward to doing a lot of good work in Andrew’s name with MADD in the future.

We were in NYC for a press conference with MADD NY to promote NYS lowering the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) down to .05%. There is a bill going to the NY Senate and Assembly to change the law from .08% to .05% and the press conference will help support this common-sense bill in order to save thousands of lives.

We walked like MADD today at Jones Beach in honor of Andrew and to raise money and awareness of the impact drunk driving has on others. We will continue to walk and fight for Andrew and to hopefully put an end to drunk driving. No more victims!
