Y.E.S. RED RIBBON ACTIVITIES

October 18^th – 21^st

WHAT IS RED RIBBON WEEK?

An ideal way for people and communities to take a visible stand against drugs and to show their personal commitment to a DRUG-FREE lifestyle through the symbol of the red ribbon.

WHY?

Red Ribbon Week commemorates the Anniversary of the kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Agent (DEA) Enrique “Kiki” Camerena at the hands of drug traffickers in Mexico.  Friends and neighbors wore red badges of satin in his honor to show they would continue his fight against illegal drugs.  The Red Ribbon Campaign is now the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation.  The purpose of the Red Ribbon Campaign is to present a unified and visible commitment toward the creation of a DRUG-FREE AMERICA.

WHO?

YOU!  We are asking citizens across the state to come together to help keep kids, families, and communities safe, healthy and DRUG-FREE.

HOW?

YOU CAN GET INVOLVED!  JOIN Y.I.S.D. RED RIBBON ACTIVITIES!
