2024 red ribbon week
Red Ribbon Week takes place each year from October 23 through 31st. The theme this year is “Life is a Movie. Film Drug Free.”
Red Ribbon Week 2024, themed “Life is a Movie. Film Drug Free,” is more than a campaign; it’s a powerful movement that encourages individuals to take control of their narrative and create a life free from the influence of drugs. In Yuma County, this theme resonates deeply as it inspires our community to envision a future where every choice, every moment, and every action contributes to a story of resilience, health, and hope. By choosing to live drug-free, we are not only protecting ourselves and our loved ones, but we are also scripting a legacy of strength and positivity for generations to come. Through education, awareness, and community support, Red Ribbon Week 2024 aims to empower every resident of Yuma County to be the director of their own life, making decisions that lead to a brighter, healthier future.
