IT'S TIME FOR
RED RIBBON WEEK
a national celebration
of keeping youth drug-free. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from this edition will go toward Reedley’s Red Ribbon activities.
Since it’s beginning in 1986, the Red Ribbon Celebration has touched the lives of more and more people each year. It all began with the brutal murder of Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Agent who died in the line of duty. Angered by Kiki’s death and the destruction caused by drug and alcohol use in America, the young people of Kiki’s hometown in Calexico, California, began wearing Red Ribbons in honor of the fallen hero. The National Family Partnership and its affiliated organizations soon began to wear Red Ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to fight the illegal use of drugs. Today, the Red Ribbon is the symbol for drug, alcohol and tobacco
prevention across America. Annually, more than 80 million young people
and adults show their commitment to a healthy, drug-free life by wearing or displaying the Red Ribbon. Since 1988, this nationwide celebration has become a major force for raising public awareness and mobilizing communities to combat alcohol, drug and tobacco use among youth.
