Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week is the nation's oldest and largest drug prevention program. The National Family Partnership started Red Ribbon Week after the death of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena who was murdered in the line of duty. After his death, people started wearing red ribbons to honor his sacrifice.
Today, millions of people celebrate Red Ribbon Week by wearing red ribbons, participating in community anti-drug events, and pledging to live drug free lives.
