TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada (MADD Canada) and Uber Canada are announcing a joint fundraising and awareness campaign to remind Canadians of the danger of impaired driving.

The campaign, which runs through December, will have Uber Canada make a $1 donation to MADD Canada for every "Compliment" badge riders send via the app to their driver, up to a total donation of $100,000.

Uber Canada and MADD Canada invite media to the Uber Greenlight Hub in Toronto on Thursday, November 30th at 10:00 am ET, where they will share more information regarding the fundraising and awareness campaign. Local law enforcement and stakeholders will be on-hand to discuss trends and efforts to curb driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
