          2)Red Ribbon Week was initiated by the National Family

            personnel, sports teams, and others concerned about the  
            effects of drugs on their communities will wear and display  
            red ribbons during this weeklong celebration to show their  
            commitment to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

          4)The theme this year is "Respect Yourself. Be Drug Free;" and,  
            securing a safe and healthy future for our children is  
            directly threatened by drug abuse.  Awareness of this problem  
            will help individuals in fighting drug abuse while promoting  
            education, drug prevention, and parental involvement.
