    Dover Downs Hotel & Casino was presented Sept. 12 with the HERO Award by the State of Delaware Office of Highway Safety in a recognition ceremony held at the Department of Safety and Homeland Security.

    Several awards also were given by OHS to Delaware businesses for dedication and excellence in implementing successful programs in 2007 to 2008 that help save lives and prevent injuries by promoting highway safety.

    The OHS-HERO Award is associated with the HERO Campaign, a designated driver initiative created by the family of Navy Ensign John R. Elliott, who was killed in a collision with a drunk driver in July 2000.

    Dover Downs Hotel & Casino adopted the HERO Campaign in 2006 at each of its food and beverage outlets.

    Signage posted outside the property’s restaurants and bars states: “When you visit any of our restaurants and bars at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, please let us know that you are a designated driver and we will give you a wristband that says ‘Be a Hero.’ Please show this wristband to your server or bartender and your Pepsi soft drinks and coffee will be free of charge.”
