Held at an undisclosed private estate in Beverly Hills, The Brent Shapiro Foundation for Drug and Alcohol Awareness' annual Summer Spectacular Event hosted among others premier broadcast interviewer Larry King, Richard Lloyd and Vadim Enikeev from Diversified Global Holdings, a worldwide investment company, hotelier and real estate tycoon Rick Hilton along with his wife, Kathy, and TV celebrities Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson.

The Shapiro family held the event to show that it's possible to have fun at an event without alcohol.

King set the tone when he introduced the host Robert Shapiro. Shapiro recounted his son Brent's story who died of a drug overdose in 2005 at the age of 24. After Brent's death, Robert established the foundation to raise "awareness for people to know this is a disease."

An auction was hosted by Alan Thicke, and among the items was a vintage car owned by Sharon Stone.

At the event Brandi Williams interviewed Larry King, Richard Lloyd and Vadim Enikeev, Rick Hilton and his wife Kathy asking them, "What's your Story?" It's a powerful question demonstrating that everyone has a personal story relating to the tragedies caused by this disease. Celebrities and attendees were able to share their personal stories on the topic and some of the stories are then posted on the foundation's Web site to hopefully reach those in need and spread awareness for the foundation.

The Brent Shapiro Foundation's goal is to conquer alcohol and drug dependency by turning the fear, grief and helplessness caused from this disease into awareness, compassion and support. The foundation believes that the solution to this problem is from an approach of educating, parents, teachers and children about this disease.
