Red Ribbon Week's History
Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program.
Red Ribbon Week started after the death of Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who was murdered in 1985 by drug traffickers he was investigating in Mexico.
After his death, people started wearing red ribbons to honor Kiki’s sacrifice. Today, millions of people celebrate Red Ribbon Week by wearing red ribbons, participating in community anti-drug events, and pledging to live drug-free lives.
Learn more about Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.
