Support a Meaningful Legacy
Red Ribbon Week began in memory of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who was tragically killed while fighting drug trafficking. The red ribbon became a national symbol of his sacrifice and a call to action for students and communities to pledge drug-free lives. Today, more than 80 million people participate each year—spreading awareness and building a culture of prevention.
Our themed items help carry that message forward with giveaways and tools that make a lasting impression long after October ends.

Red Ribbon Week Ideas for Schools & Communities
Use Red Ribbon Week products to support activities students can participate in throughout October 23–31, 2026. Schools can plan themed dress-up days, classroom lessons, pledge activities, poster displays, assemblies, morning announcements, peer-leadership programs, and family take-home activities, then reinforce each message with a related ribbon, bracelet, shirt, sticker, pencil, bookmark, or educational handout.
For a school-wide visual component, add Red Ribbon Week banners and posters at entrances, hallways, cafeterias, and assembly spaces so the prevention message stays visible between activities.
