“Out of their pain came a passionate purpose.”

Having faced the tragedy no parent ever wants to experience – Robert and Linell Shapiro lost their amazing son, Brent to addiction in October of 2005. Out of their tremendous pain came a passionate purpose.

The Brent Shapiro Foundation has successfully created the only program to help prevent the disease of drug addiction. Kids from 11 to 17 years old agree with their parents to random, non-invasive, saliva-based drug testing. With every successful drug test each child receives rewards and those rewards increase as they remain in the program. At high school graduation, having remained drug-free throughout their Brent’s Club membership each child is rewarded a college scholarship.

“Because of you, we have the opportunity to make the difference in the lives of thousands of boys and girls in America.”

Because of Robert and Linell Shapiro the Brent Shapiro Foundation has successfully created a one of a kind drug and alcohol awareness program known as Brent’s Club. Kids from 11 to 17 years old agree to random, non-invasive, saliva-based drug testing. With every successful drug test each child receives rewards and those rewards increase as they remain in the program. At high school graduation, having remained clean and sober throughout their Brent’s Club membership each child becomes eligible for a college scholarship. There is no other pre-emptive addiction program like this in America!
