It is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible
stand against drugs. Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle
through the symbol of the Red Ribbon, October 23 - 31st.
WHY?
The Red Ribbon Campaign was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City
murdered Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent, in 1985. This began the continuing
