• RED RIBBON WEEK:  Red Ribbon Week is celebrated October 23-31 each year. Red Ribbon Week started in remembrance of Special Agent Enrique Camarena who was tortured and brutally murdered by drug traffickers in Mexico in 1985.  Special Agent Camarena gave his life in the fight against drugs, and soon after his death people started wearing Red Ribbons to symbolize their commitment to help reduce the demand for drugs in their communities. The act of wearing red Ribbons took on national significance and grew into what is now known as the Red Ribbon Campaign. During Red Ribbon Week, children and adults all over the country wear red ribbon, take pledges, and participate in activities that show that they are committed to leading a drug-free lifestyle.
