We are a network of grieving families that have been impacted by the opioid epidemic in the worst way and we're determined to support the battle against substance use disorder (SUD) and to end the overdose epidemic. 
 
A registered 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization, our foundation’s mission is to eliminate any impediment blocking those seeking help with their recovery journey, to create & support outreach programs that improve the wellbeing of those in our community, to host events that will help end the stigma, and celebrate that recovery is possible.

Youth Hero Awards

Brian Cody's Brothers & Sisters Foundation’s Youth Hero Award is given to students across the state of Connecticut who demonstrate courage, resolve, and a willingness to #KeepGoing for a brighter tomorrow.

Jonathan & Matt (pictured here) are just two of a dozen amazing students selected by our Foundation's Youth Hero Award Committee.

Each student's essay about Substance Use Disorder’s (SUD) impact on families were incredibly moving, their determination to avoid the pitfalls of peer pressure and their courage to step outside the shadows of the stigma while raising awareness are truly inspiring.

The entire membership of Brian Cody’s Brothers & Sisters Foundation is extremely proud of all our Youth Hero Award recipients, and we wish them all continued success in their journey!
