DEA RED RIBBON is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program.  Red Ribbon was started after the death of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who in 1985 was brutally tortured and murdered by drug traffickers he was investigating in Mexico.  As a tribute to Special Agent Camarena, high school friend, Henry Lozano and Congressman Duncan Hunter, created “Camarena Clubs” and the wearing of a red ribbon to show their opposition to drugs.

In 1988, the National Family Partnership (NFP) coordinated the first National Red Ribbon Week, celebration with President and Mrs. Reagan serving as honorary Chairpersons.  Since then, the Red Ribbon Campaign has taken on national significance.

Today, decades after the first official national Red Ribbon celebration, wearing red ribbons continues to represent our pledge to live drug free and honors the sacrifice of all who have lost their lives in the fight against drugs.

We encourage you to celebrate Red Ribbon Week this year with the Drug Enforcement Administration.  (Run through Friday, 11/18)
