Shatterproof

Created by entrepreneur Gary Mendell after losing his son Brian to drug addiction in 2011, this nonprofit has raised an impressive $9 million since then. Through advocacy campaigns, lobbying for pieces of legislation to be passed, and addressing gaps in both funding and resourcing, they are hoping to help reduce the number of addicted Americans and drug-related deaths by 50% over the next 20 years. Shatterproof has also launched events in 30 cities across the country to help reduce the stigma of addiction. Their mission has earned them partnerships with several MLB franchise, while multiple hotels across the country donate to Shatterproof if a guest “declines” housekeeping services on specific days.
