DrugFree Idaho would like to extend an invitation to you to attend the annual Red Ribbon Rally on Friday, October 21, 2011, from noon until 1:00 P.M. This event has been an integral part in the effort to prevent alcohol and other substance abuse across Idaho since 1988. This year’s event will be held on the Idaho State Capitol steps as a kickoff to the annual Red Ribbon week.

 

The Red Ribbon Campaign originated in 1985 when Federal Drug Enforcement Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena was murdered by drug traffickers. Each year, the Red Ribbon Rally takes place in an effort to increase drug awareness and focus on the motto, “No use of illegal drugs and no illegal use of legal drugs.” The event directly involves approximately 1,000 youth and many more through the participation of local schools during the course of Red Ribbon Week.
