Eastvale – Red Ribbon Week, a drug awareness campaign first organized by the National Family Partnership in 1985, has touched the lives of millions of people around the world. In response to the murder of DEA agent, Enrique Camarena – who was tortured to death and found in Mexico in 1985 – angered parents and youth in communities across the country began wearing red ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the killing and destruction caused by drugs in America.
