Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country.  This year Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated October 22-26 - this week.

The Story Behind the Symbol

Enrique "Kiki" Camarena grew up in a dirt-floored house with hopes and dreams of making a difference.

Camarena worked his way through college, served in the Marines and became a police officer.  When he decided to join the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, his mother tried to talk him out of it.  "I can't NOT do this," he told her.  "I'm only one person, but I want to make a difference."

The DEA sent Camarena to work undercover in Mexico investigating a major drug cartel believed to include officers in the Mexican army, police and government.  On Feb. 7, 1985, the 37 year old Camarena left his office to meet his wife for lunch.  Five men appeared at the agent's side and shoved him in a car.  One month later, Camarena's body was found in a shallow grave.  He had been tortured to death.

Within weeks of his death in March of 1985, Camarena's Congressman, Duncan Hunter, and high school friend Henry Lozano, launched Camarena Clubs in Imperial Valley, California, Camarena's home.  Hundreds of club members pledged to lead drug-free lives to honor the sacrifices made by Camarena and others on behalf of all Americans.  These coalitions began to wear red badges of satin, red ribbons, as a symbol of Camarena's memory.  The Red Ribbon Week campaign emerged from the efforts of these clubs and coalitions.

Today, Red Ribbon Week is nationally recognized and celebrated, helping to preserve Special Agent Camarena's memory and further the cause for which he gave his life.  The Red Ribbon Campaign also became a symbol of support for the DEA's efforts to reduce demand for drugs through prevention and education programs.  By joining us in our dress up days during this week, Cy Woods Wildcats demonstrate their ardent opposition to drugs.  They pay homage not only to Special Agent Camarena, but to all the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in support of our nation's struggle against drug trafficking and abuse.

Thank you for wearing Tie Dye today.  Tomorrow join us as we dress like a twin to help Team Up Against Drugs.
