Our Story
The Robin Foundation was born from personal loss and a determination to ensure fewer families experience the pain of substance use and overdose through Naloxone access, overdose prevention education, and community partnerships, we work to save lives, raise awareness, and make emergency response tools available where they matter most.
Why We Exist
The Robin Foundation was co-founded by Chris Cavallo and his daughter Cristina, in memory of Robin and Stefanie Cavallo, mother and daughter.
Robin was an advocate and a familiar presence throughout South Florida, known for helping people and families facing difficult circumstances. Her personal journey and lived experience shaped a deep commitment to supporting others. After surgery, she was prescribed pain medication and later died from an overdose. Chris and Robin’s daughter Stefanie, who was Cristina’s twin sister, also faced personal challenges following her mother’s death and later died from an overdose after being sold fentanyl.
The Cavallo family is committed to turning personal loss into action by expanding overdose prevention education, distributing Narcan, and helping individuals, families, and organizations understand how to respond to an overdose. Their work focuses on saving lives, raising awareness about the overdose crisis, and making Naloxone more accessible throughout South Florida.
The Robin Foundation’s long-term vision is to expand community-based overdose prevention, education, family support, and public health initiatives that help women, children, and families affected by the overdose crisis.
