The Red Ribbon Campaign is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation, reaching missions of young people during Red Ribbon Week (Oct 23rd to Oct 31st)

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 Compaign 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 country 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.  Encourage the community to wear the red ribbon symbol during Red Ribbon week, October 23rd - October 31st.
