Cole Staudt, recently elected Student Government president, will drive this weekend.

He’s not going anywhere; instead, he’ll be driving an Uber to help community members reach their destination — all while promoting a cause.

Staudt will drive 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday night to encourage student safety. 

Staudt will also donate 100 percent of his earnings to MADD, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, according to a news release from Uber. 

Student Government has also partnered with local businesses, including AJ’s Ultra Lounge, 23Twenty, The Foundry and Uber Iowa, have agreed to match whatever funds Staudt makes on his drive.

The goal of the weekend is to raise awareness about responsible drinking, particularly against driving while intoxicated.

“Uber provides students the flexibility to get themselves and their friends home safe,” Staudt said in the release. “Because I believe so strongly in the positive effects Uber has on Iowa State students, I am excited to be participating in this awareness campaign in coordination with Uber and local businesses to support MADD.”

Those new to Uber can get $20 off their first ride by using the code ISU4MADD, and $5 will be donated to MADD.
