Red Ribbon Week

Parents, educators, and communities reinforce drug-free messages during Red Ribbon Week. Celebrated annually October 23-31, participants learn more about the destructive effects of drug misuse. Spread the word and encourage everyone you know to live a healthy, drug-free life.

History

Get Involved

Red Ribbon Week is an annual event observed by the Drug Enforcement Administration and communities across the country. Inspired by a tragedy, this week of remembrance has helped spread awareness of drug misuse prevention. Communities collaborate with local DEA offices to organize events that bring people together in a united mission to end drug misuse.
