OUR MISSION
The WPR Foundation was founded to honor the legacy of Warren Patrick Robertson after his passing in 2022 of fentanyl poisoning.
Our mission is to provide Narcan kits, training, and education to local schools and communities in an effort to combat opioid addiction.
Providing Resources
The WPR Foundation provides Naloxone (Narcan) kits and training to high schools and universities. We have worked with high schools in Little Rock, Arkansas; the University of Arkansas; Mississippi State University; and several Greek organizations on these campuses. While our efforts are currently focused in the South, we plan to broaden our mission to the rest of the country to address America’s ongoing mental health crisis and opioid epidemic.
Educating the Public
The WPR Foundation promotes accessible education about drug addiction, mental health issues, and the way they may intertwine. We get involved with schools, churches, and community organizations to tell our story, share ways we can combat America’s opioid epidemic, and help reduce the stigmas associated with drug addiction and mental illness that may stop sufferers from getting treatment.
Our goal is to prevent families from having to experience the heartbreak of losing a loved one to a preventable drug overdose.
Our Background
Warren Patrick Robertson was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 3, 1999 to Chris and Martha Robertson. He loved being a Cub Scout in Troop 7 and continued his learning in Troop 12 of the Boy Scouts, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of 16. Warren’s passion for animals led him to choose building the Dog Agility Course at Murray Dog Park as his Eagle Project.
Warren attended Catholic High School and spent countless hours with friends hunting, listening to music, and taking road trips. He also loved books, history, and genealogy. After high school, Warren studied crop and soil science at the University of Arkansas and agronomy at Mississippi State University. He was a proud member of Sigma Chi at the University of Arkansas and truly loved his fraternity brothers.
Warren was an avid Razorbacks fan and enjoyed watching them play baseball and football. He was also a loyal fan of the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Braves. Warren spent many hours at the family farm. His favorite pastime was to hunt with his dad, his brother Christopher, his friends, and his dogs Moss and Wynne. He especially loved turkey hunting in the springtime.
Warren loved people with all his heart and would happily give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. His soul was kind and caring. He was his Daddy’s hero, his mother’s heart, the King of Pasta, and the epitome of a true Southern gentleman.
Warren passed away from fentanyl poisoning at the age of 23 on August 4, 2022. He will be forever missed.
