| East Rutherford, NJ (September 27, 2013) – The New York Jets won their second home game of the season on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in an AFC East division game. Fans also helped the Jets gain ground on the Buffalo Bills in the Bud Light Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge between the Jets, Bills and Dolphins. The Jets, Bud Light and TEAM Coalition partnered to promote responsible drinking and traffic safety at MetLife Stadium, encouraging fans to become designated drivers.Throughout the game, 753 fans made the pledge to be a Good Sport – a designated driver for their group, earning the New York Jets 6 points (or a touchdown) for each designated driver. All the designated drivers at the game had the opportunity to autograph a New York Jets Grafitti Board and receive a free souvenir photo.
At the end of the season, one randomly selected Designated Driver will be selected as the New York Jets Designated Driver for the Season, representing the Jets in the Responsibility Has Its Rewards sweepstakes. If the New York Jets make it to the Super Bowl, the Designated Driver of the Season and a guest will receive two tickets, hotel and airfare to watch their favorite team.
“For 30 years, Anheuser-Busch has led our industry in developing responsible drinking initiatives and Bud Light Good Sport, one of our most visible programs, promotes positive fan behavior through the use of designated drivers,” said Kathy Casso, vice president, Corporate Social Responsibility at Anheuser-Busch. “We all share the same streets after the game. This partnership with the National Football League, participating stadiums, concessionaires, TEAM Coalition and football fans displays our collective responsibility to help keep our roads safe.”
“The success of the Responsibility Has Its Rewards campaign is a direct result of the commitment from our members and all the designated driver program partners, including the teams, beer companies and wholesalers,” said Jill Pepper, executive director of TEAM Coalition. “Teamwork is what this campaign is all about. We are demonstrating that when everyone – including the fans – takes responsibility, everyone wins.”
