How to Celebrate Red Ribbon Week?
It is estimated that more than 80 million people participate in Red Ribbon events each year. The campaign is a unified way for communities to take a stand against drugs and show intolerance for illicit drug use and the consequences to all Americans. Schools, businesses, the faith community, media, families, and community coalitions join together to celebrate Red Ribbon Week in many ways, such as: sponsoring essay and poster contests; organizing drug-free races; decorating buildings in red; handing out red ribbons to customers; holding parades or community events; and by publicizing the value of a drug-free, healthy lifestyle. Ribbon week is designed to help teachers keep kids off tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. Office of Prevention provides numerous resources for your school based efforts, below are some available Red Ribbon Week RESOURCES and LINKS from both our office and from other prevention promoters.
