To the Editor:

As fireworks light the night sky this Fourth of July, friends, families, and communities will gather together to celebrate our independence and toast to our nation’s birthday.

Wherever you’re raising a glass this weekend, if your plans involve alcohol, Dichello Distributors, Inc, reminds you to “Decide to Ride” and plan ahead for a safe ride to and from your holiday celebrations to help keep our community safe. Drunk driving is 100% preventable so whether you choose to ride with Uber, public transportation or a non-drinking designated driver, if you drink, don’t drive.

For over 35 years, Anheuser-Busch and its network of independent wholesalers nationwide have invested more than $1 billion in initiatives and community-based programs to prevent underage drinking, impaired driving and other harmful uses of alcohol.

Dichello Distributors is proud to work alongside Anheuser-Busch, Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Uber to encourage everyone to “Decide to Ride” this Fourth of July weekend.

From all of us at Dichello Distributors we wish you a happy and safe Independence Day.
