Red Ribbon is a national anti-drug campaign that is celebrated annually, October 23-31. During Red Ribbon, young people in communities and schools across the nation pledge to live drug-free by wearing red ribbons and participating in community-wide anti-drug events.
Red Ribbon Week is also a time to pay tribute to DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, whose death led to the creation of the Red Ribbon program.
This year’s Red Ribbon Rally features voices from our community and special guests who represent diverse experiences and perspectives on drug use prevention and Red Ribbon activism, including youth performances that celebrate living drug-free. In addition, we will recognize the elementary, middle, and high school winners of DEA’s Red Ribbon Visual Arts Contest and announce the community groups selected to receive DEA’s 2024 Community Drug Prevention Award.
