National Red Ribbon Week happens every year during the last week of October to encourage parents, children and communities to take a visible stand against drugs, alcohol and tobacco use and abuse. This year’s observance takes place Oct. 22 to 26. Red Ribbon Week commemorates the life of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who was killed in 1985 by drug dealers in Mexico.
