2)Red Ribbon Week was initiated by the National Family
Partnership, Inc., after Drug Enforcement Administration Agent
Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was killed in Mexico by drug
traffickers in 1985.
3)During Red Ribbon Week, parents, youths, schools, businesses,
law enforcement, religious institutions, service
organizations, senior citizens, medical and military
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.
