Freebird seamlessly connects with Uber and Lyft when a user requests a
ride and rewards them with cash back from restaurants, bars and our
brand partners. Freebirders have more fun as they get out and socialize
without the worry of drunk driving. Freebirders also can earn points for
all other ride-hail destinations such as their home, work place,
airport, retailer, etc. so no matter where you go, you are earning
rewards.

"Chris Long is a true philanthropist and social activist for numerous
causes," said Kurt Brendlinger CEO of Freebird. "We're excited to
collaborate with Chris on drunk driving prevention because he is so
passionate about raising visibility in alcohol-related automobile
incidents which complements our in-app safe ride home initiative.

Kurt Brendlinger, CEO of Freebird, founded the app in 2017 in California.
