Red Ribbon Week
Honoring a Legacy and Promoting Drug-Free Communities
Each year, communities across the nation come together to celebrate Red Ribbon Week, the largest and longest-running drug prevention campaign in the United States. This year, Red Ribbon Week takes place from October 23–30, with the theme of promoting healthy, drug-free lifestyles, and empowering youth to make positive choices.
The Red Ribbon Campaign began in 1985 following the tragic death of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who was tortured and killed while investigating drug traffickers in Mexico.
