The Red Ribbon Campaign began in 1985 when a drug enforcement agent named Enrique “Kiki” Camarena was tortured and killed in Mexico. Family and friends began to wear red satin ribbons in honor of Kiki’s memory and battle against illegal drugs. Parents formed coalitions embracing the 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.
🎀InnerAct Alliance is proud to present one of the largest Red Ribbon Campaigns in the Sunshine State to promote prevention of substance abuse and bullying and encourage healthy lifestyle choices. Join us to Run the World at the 2024 Red Ribbon Run, presented by title sponsor Publix Super Markets this Saturday morning, October 26, at Lake Mirror in Lakeland!
