2026 red ribbon week
2026 Red Ribbon Campaign: "MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BE A HERO. STAY DRUG FREE."
Observed each year from October 23–31, Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s largest and longest-running drug prevention campaign. It honors the legacy of DEA Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who was murdered in the line of duty in 1985. His sacrifice continues to inspire a nationwide movement of prevention and awareness.
Talk with your kids about the dangers of drug use. Encourage healthy choices. Participate in prevention and education activities.
And take the pledge to live drug-free.
