Jim Noffsinger Legacy Award

​After attending the 2000 SADD National Conference, Jim Noffsinger, a chapter advisor, returned to Indiana and began developing Indiana SADD. By 2001, Indiana SADD had been awarded a grant by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving.

     Jim had recently retired and resided in Gulf Shores, Alabama, when he died following complications from cancer in 2015. In 2016, Indiana SADD created the Jim Noffsinger Legacy Award, presented annually to an outstanding SADD chapter.​
