The Red Ribbon
Campaign began in 1985 when a drug enforcement agent named Enrique
“Kiki” Camarena was tortured and killed in Mexico. In honor of his memory and
ongoing battle against illegal drugs, Kiki’s friends and family began to wear
red satin ribbons. Parents began to form coalitions embracing his belief that
one person can make a difference. Today, the Red Ribbon serves to encourage
communities to educate youth and participate in substance abuse prevention
activities.
For the past 35+ years,
InnerAct Alliance has been proud to present one of the largest Red Ribbon Campaigns
in the Sunshine State to promote prevention of substance abuse and
bullying, while encouraging children, teens, and families to make healthy
lifestyle choices.
