Red Ribbon Week - October 28-November 1
Do you know why we have Red Ribbon Week? In 1985, Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was a DEA Agent who was tortured and killed in Mexico. In honor of Kiki's memory and his battle against illegal drugs, friends and neighbors began to wear red badges of satin. Parents then began to form coalitions using Camarena as their model while embracing his belief that one person can make a difference. These coalitions adopted the symbol of Camarena's memory, the Red Ribbon. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.
Help us educate and raise awareness in our community about illegal drug use by participating in Red Ribbon Week activities.
