Red Ribbon Week

This week, we join communities across the nation in celebrating Red Ribbon Week — the largest and longest-running drug awareness and prevention campaign in the United States.

Red Ribbon Week began in 1985 as a tribute to DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who gave his life in the fight against drugs. His sacrifice inspired a movement dedicated to promoting healthy, drug-free, and violence-free lifestyles for our youth and communities.

Let’s work together to encourage our children to make safe and positive choices—because their future is worth it!
