Red Ribbon Week - October 23-31, 2012
History:
In 1986, citizens in California began wearing red ribbons to show their support
in the war against drugs. This was the inception of a grass-roots campaign
against the illegal use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Congress officially
proclaimed the first National Red Ribbon Week, October 23-31, 1988. The Red
Ribbon has now become a symbol for the drug free movement.
Throughout the U.S., Red Ribbon Week celebrations bear witness to the efforts of one person making a difference in the fight against drugs. When the red ribbon is worn by students, teachers and parents, it powerfully symbolizes each individual's commitment to preventing drug abuse in schools, workplaces and communities.
This national weekly celebration allows educators, parents, community groups, students and others to focus on the work being done to stop the spread of drugs and draw attention to the growing millions of youngsters who have pledged to live drug-free
.
