October 24th - November 1st, 2025

• Red Ribbon Week is a national drug prevention and awareness campaign that began following the murder of Enrique Camarena, an undercover DEA agent, in 1985.
• Coalitions began to form by those outraged by his death and the devastation drugs in this country caused - they wore red ribbons to honor him.
• By wearing a red ribbon in October, Americans pledge their opposition to drug abuse.
• Across the nation, students are pledging to avoid tobacco, drugs, alcohol, and violence.
