The Santa Barbara Police Department invites community members to join Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Tri-Counties for Move with MADD Santa Barbara, a 3K walk to raise awareness about impaired driving and support safer roads.

The event will be 9 a.m.-noon Sunday, Oct. 18, at Chase Palm Park Field, 236 E. Cabrillo Blvd.

Friends, families, and community members of all ages can walk in honor or memory of someone special, show their support for safer roads, or simply come together with the community to make a difference, organizers said.

Participating in the event will be representatives from the Santa Barbara Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, Santa Maria Police Department, and Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office.
