FADD, Friends Against Drinking and Driving, grew from the desire to address the problem of drinking and driving among high school students.  In March 1988, after coming face to face with the staggering statistics of youths involved in alcohol-realted accidents, Steve Concialdi decided to produce a mulitmedia presentation for his fellow students at Mater Dei High School in Orange County.

While working for an ambulance company, Steve witnessed young people self-destructing on our roads and highways, some of them were his friends.  It was decided that a professionally produced video would be the most effective and permanent way to reach young people and educate them on the dangers of drinking and driving.  

In August of 1989, FADD was founded.
