Red Ribbon Week


Video Transcript

Accessibility Statement: This is a one-minute long video that showcases photos of families at events and at milestones of growing up such as speaking on a stage or celebrating birthdays. The video is approximately one minute long.

 

The spoken text of the video is as follows:

As parents, we want our kids to grow up safe, happy, and healthy. We want them to be responsible, to make good choices, and to achieve their goals.

But the truth is, we won't always be there to protect them. So we equip our kids to make good decisions.

Talking with our kids about drugs isn't easy, but Red Ribbon Week can help.

A red ribbon showing the dates for Red Ribbon Week - October 23 through October 31 - is shown on the screen.

Red Ribbon Week empowers parents to start a conversation, and make a pledge that encourages our kids to live drug free and helps them to succeed.

How will you use Red Ribbon Week to encourage your kids to be drug free?

An estimated 80 million people participate in Red Ribbon Week each year.

Learn more about Red Ribbon Week and how you can get involved.

The text, "Red Ribbon Week honors the sacrifice made by Special Agent Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena who gave his life in the fight against drugs," appears on the screen.
