Happy Red Ribbon Week!

 



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! 

Students in grades K-8 may register FREE for the Kids Fun Run, sponsored by MIDFLORIDA Credit Union, prior to 10/26 or pay $5 on race day. Adults may run with their children in the Family Fun Run for a $5 fee. More fun will be available in the Florida Dairy Farmers World Tour vendor area offering healthy snacks, activities, and entertainment celebrating cultures and talents around the world!

See you Saturday morning at Lake Mirror
