Clay Soper Memorial Fund Information

The Clay Soper Memorial Fund seeks to educate, engage and empower our youth with the documentary program "If They Had Known." The documentary, combined with the Program Toolkit, catalyzes peer-to-peer discussions about the risk of misusing and abusing prescription drugs and provides teens with potentially life-saving information. Getting the program into schools and communities nationwide is vital to our young people. The documentary program "If They Had Known" is an honest account of a death that shouldn't have happened. The 35-minute film shares the night of Clay Soper's tragic death from mixing prescription drugs with alcohol. On July 18, 2015, 19-year-old Clay and his teenage friends gathered for a party. They were ready for a typical night of fun. During the party, Clay and some other partygoers mixed Xanax with alcohol. For Clay, it was a lethal mixture that caused his respiratory system and heart to stop. No one at the party knew that combining prescription drugs with alcohol could be fatal. The life-saving message comes from Clay's friends and peers, not actors. The key message is genuine and impactful: Knowing These 5 Things Could Save Your Life or the Life of a Friend. Since its debut, the documentary has aired in 32 states, 53 colleges, and 280+ high schools and communities. Our viewing audience is 800,000+. For parents and families interested in "If They Had Known," individual rental is available on Amazon and Google Play. The documentary "If They Had Known" is a Clay Soper Memorial Fund program. Our mission is to educate, engage and empower today's youth with life-saving information about the risks of misusing and abusing prescription drugs and to help motivate cultural change among young people.
