Making AMERICA’s Roads Safer—One Small Act at a Time
Every year, too many lives are lost to drunk driving in America. The Bar Fairies are on a mission to change that by promoting sober driving choices, DUI prevention, and community safety.
What started as a small act of kindness—leaving coffee gift cards on cars left overnight at Flathead Valley, Montana bars—has grown into a nationwide movement advocating for stronger DUI laws and supporting families affected by drunk driving tragedies.
WHO WE ARE
The Bar Fairies was founded in memory of Bobby Dewbre, who lost his life to a repeat drunk driver. His family turned their grief into action, creating a grassroots movement dedicated to:
Encouraging responsible decisions after a night out
Advocating for stricter legislation to strengthen DUI accountability in Montana and across the country
Supporting and creating community with grieving families impacted by preventable drunk driving tragedies
Building a community of sober curiosity and safe transportation options
Through education, advocacy, and real action, The Bar Fairies are changing the culture around drinking and driving in Montana.
