Red Ribbon Week is a commitment to live alcohol, tobacco, and any other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign that is hosted in October. This week started after the death of the Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who was murdered in 1985 by drug traffickers he was investigating at the time in Mexico. This week was then hosted after his death, people would wear red ribbons to honor his sacrifice. Families, schools and communities then started to coordinate the campaign for a week in October each year. This is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation.
