In 2013, Brian and Cindy Hoeflinger lost their 18-year-old son Brian in a car accident. Brian was driving. And he was drunk.
Brian Hoeflinger was a smart, kind, thoughtful, and hardworking young man. He was an avid and accomplished golfer who carried a 4.5 GPA. He was a senior at Ottawa Hills High School who hoped to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when he graduated. His UNC acceptance letter arrived at his Northwest Ohio home shortly after he died.
Brian's parents say that their son made a lifetime of good decisions, then he made one bad decision. As a result, their lives are forever changed. But Brian and Cindy have made it their mission to share their message with parents and students to prevent more drunk driving accidents. Their son's life may have been cut short, but he still can make a difference.
The Hoeflingers have spoken at schools and community organizations throughout the Midwest. Their organization has been featured in numerous publications and on television programs, including The Katie Couric Show. And on Monday, October 5, Brian and Cindy will offer a presentation for Northeast Ohio parents and students. We hope that you'll join us for this honest discussion about why Brian Matters, and why every other teenager matters too.
