Red Ribbon Week is an annual event in the United States that takes place during the last week of October. It aims to raise awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and promote healthy, drug-free lifestyles among students and communities. The week is marked by various activities, educational programs, and themed days in schools. The origins of Red Ribbon Week date back to the 1980s when it began as a tribute to DEA Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who was killed while fighting against drug trafficking. Today, it serves as a reminder of the importance of prevention and the impact of substance abuse on individuals and families.
