Red
Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug
prevention campaign in the country. Red Ribbon Week generally takes place the
last full week in October. Red Ribbon week will be celebrated in Aiken County October 21 - 31, 2012.
Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a
stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug
prevention and education and a personal commitment to live drug free lives with
the ultimate goal being the creation of drug free America.
And, perhaps more importantly, Red Ribbon Week commemorates the ultimate sacrifice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at the hands of drug traffikers in Mexico while fighting the battle against illegal drugs to keep our country and children safe.
