The Spanevello family also requested that in lieu of flowers to consider donating to the Orfund Foundation instead. After Spanevello's death, in November 2009, her story was featured as the main subject in an anti-drug campaign by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. As part of its campaign, the RCMP has printed posters featuring Spanevello's smiling face juxtaposed against the slogan: "the agony of ecstasy ... the end of a life." There was also a feature on the RCMP website as part of the anti-drug campaign "Erin's Story," that was written by her heartbroken mother, Catherine. Catherine Spanevello also urged other parents to educate themselves about addiction, overdose, and especially about the popular drugs that are available to our children nowadays. It also included further information about the chemicals in MDMA (ecstasy), the dangers of ecstasy, and practical tips for parents.
