David and Jackie Siegel’s world was forever changed when their 18-year-old daughter Victoria died of a drug overdose on June 6, 2015. In the depths of their despair, David and Jackie dedicated themselves to understanding how this tragedy came to pass. And in doing so, they learned a great deal about the drug epidemicstealing young lives in our country.

In an effort to do more to end the opioid crisis in our country, the Siegelslater founded Victoria’s Voice Foundation in 2019. Since then, the foundation’sSave Our Kids Education and Prevention Programshave positively impacted more than one million students, parents, educators and community members nationwide.

Victoria’s Voice is guided by four pillars that work in concert to effect a comprehensive, balanced and prevention-focused response to the drug crisis.. 1. Bringing drug awareness and prevention education to students, parents, educators and communities nationwide. 2. Campaigning to raise awareness and ensure access to lifesaving naloxone—a powerful antidote to an opioid overdose. 3. Informing national, state and local policymakers on the ever-changing landscape of the drug epidemic and the drug policy needed to save lives. 4. Creating novel resources to educate, inspire change and give hope to families affected by the drug crisis in our country.
