WHAT IS RED RIBBON WEEK?
It is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a
visible stand against drugs. Show your personal commitment to
a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of the Red Ribbon, October
23 - 31st.
WHY?
The Red Ribbon Campaign was started when drug traffickers in Mexico
City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing
tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards
the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign is to present
a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG-FREE
AMERICA.
WHO?
National Family Partnership is the sponsor of the National Red Ribbon
Week Celebration. We are helping citizens across the state come together
to keep children, families and communities safe, healthy and drug-free,
through parent training, networking and sponsoring the National Red
Ribbon Campaign.
WHY SUPPORT THE NATIONAL THEME?
A theme unifies each year’s campaign and helps to broadcast
one message creating a tipping point to change behavior.
HOW?
Plan a Red Ribbon celebration. Order and display Red Ribbon Materials
with the National Red Ribbon Theme. Proceeds from the sale of Red
Ribbon theme merchandise helps support prevention programs across
America. Order for your family, students, staff, patients, employees
and customers and encourage them to wear the red ribbon symbol during
Red Ribbon Week, October 23rd - 31st.
