Red Ribbon Campaign Set for October 21 28
The 1995 Red Ribbon campaign aims to unite Texas against drugs with events from October 21 to 28. Last year over five million Texans participated, signaling a community demand to eliminate drug use. The campaign began in 1985 after the Enrique Camarena murder, with red ribbons now symbolizing ongoing anti substance abuse efforts locally run by the Hays Caldwell Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse offering free ribbons via contact numbers.
