To the Editor:

Halloween is a time for fun, whether that means coming up with the perfect family costume or putting on the scariest haunted house. It’s a time for communities to come together along the trick-or-treating route and to stock up on beer for the neighborhood’s annual Halloween bash.

Anheuser-Busch and Dichello Distributors, Inc are honored to be a part of these fall festivities and are committed to helping ensure your traditions are celebrated safely. That’s why we’re encouraging everyone in our community to make a plan to take a sober ride to and from any spooky season events that involve drinking. Because the scary part of Halloween shouldn’t be who our trick-or-treaters share the roads with.

Over the last 35 years, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners have invested more than $1 billion in responsible drinking initiatives and community-based programs to prevent underage drinking, impaired driving and other harmful uses of alcohol. This fall, all of us at Dichello Distributors are proud to partner with Anheuser-Busch, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Uber to encourage everyone to Decide to Ride when drinking.

Please help us take some of the fright out of Halloween night by pledging to do your part to keep our roads safe. Remember, you can’t drive drunk if you don’t drive there. We thank you for your support.
