What is Red Ribbon Week?

The Red Ribbon Week Celebration is a drug and alcohol abuse awareness campaign
observed annually throughout the nation during the last full week in October. While Red
Ribbon Week is not meant to serve as a prevention or early intervention program, it is
meant to promote awareness of, and hopefully reduce, illegal drug/substance use and
abuse in our country.

This Year’s Theme: “The Best Me Is Drug Free!”

The Red Ribbon Pledge: “ No use of illegal drugs, no illegal use of legal drugs!”
