Carroll County Memorial Hospital wants to congratulate all our youth this week as they wear their red ribbons stating "I Am Drug Free!" Red Ribbon Week, which is celebrated annually October 23-31, is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program. Red Ribbon Week 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 SA Camarena, high school friend, Henry Lozano and Congressman Duncan Hunter, created Camarena Clubs and the wearing of a red ribbon to show their oppositions to drugs. In 1988, the National Family Partnership coordinated the first National Red Ribbon Week with President and Mrs. Reagan serving as honorary Chairpersons. Since then, the Red Ribbon campaign has taken on national significance, and NFP continues to coordinate the campaign for families, schools and communities across the nation each year. Wearing red ribbons during the month of October 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 take the pledge and Live Drug Free!
