Schools and community members are encouraged to participate in local events, which will include a variety of school-based activities, documentary screenings, and a family game night.

Truth About Drugs

Red Ribbon Week

Celebrated annually, the Red Ribbon Campaign is the nation's oldest and largest drug prevention campaign. During the 8-day event, millions of people across the country unite and take a visible stand for healthy, drug-free lifestyles by wearing and displaying red ribbons and by participating in anti-drug activities.

The 2019 National Red Ribbon Week theme is: Send a Message. Stay Drug Free.™ The theme is a call to action to speak out in support of healthy choices. The theme is also a reminder that by staying drug free, you are sending a message to yourself and others about how much you value yourself, your overall health, your community and your future.

Red Ribbon week is intended to be fun AND effective.

Here are a few ways to celebrate, get involved, and show your support:
