The lavishly decorated Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton was the perfect setting for the Summer Spectacular, benefitting the Brent Shapiro Foundation. This invitation-only gala has raised millions of dollars for drug awareness and prevention, and was created by famed attorney Robert Shapiro and his wife, Linell, to honor the life of their deceased son, Brent. Their mission is to save lives through effective programs to encourage young people to forgo the dangers of alcohol and drug dependency. Currently, over 1,500 children are being served by the Ben Shapior Foundation.
