LED by Tigger

The Tigger Stavola Foundation is a non-profit based in Monmouth County, NJ founded by a family whose 25-year-old son “Tigger” died due to an accidental opioid overdose. They have courageously decided to honor their son by educating youth on the dangers of drug use with the mission of fighting addiction, spreading awareness, and saving lives through prevention and education. They aim to prevent future generations from the dangers of substance use disorder (SUD) by promoting advocacy and awareness, sharing the inspiring process behind recovery, and educating as many people as possible.

LED by Tigger program is designed to engage with 8th through 12th grade students and their parents/caregivers in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, NJ to educate them on SUD prevention.

LED (Leadership. Education. Drug Education.) by Tigger educates youth on the dangers of substance use with the mission of fighting addiction, spreading awareness, and saving lives through prevention and education. The program was created to promote advocacy and awareness in a fun and engaging way.


Delivered in partnership with schools, the mobile engagement program provides guidance, tips, resources and support directly to participants’ mobile phones. To further encourage engagement, students have the opportunity to answer subject matter-related trivia questions and win gift cards.

"The way technology is so involved in the day to day especially with teenagers…this program is a way to communicate...and get across to them more. The approach is really good – a lot of people have short attention spans and don’t have the correct resources to get the right information so the way that Tigger approaches education is really, really great."
