WHAT IS RED RIBBON WEEK?It is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against substance abuse.  Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of the Red Ribbon, Oct 23rd - 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?
Remind your students the many reasons drugs are dangerous.

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?
Help your students to remember what each day's activity is and encourage them to participate!
