DDVIP - Designated Driver
The designated driver very important person (“DDVIP”) program rewards those who provide others out drinking a safe way home. People who register to be a designated driver pledge to not drink alcohol, drive their friends and family home safely. In return for their pledge, they will have a chance to receive free non-alcohol drink vouchers from our partners at Sacramento Republic FC and Oakland Arena.
