The Red Ribbon Campaign® is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign® is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA. This year's Red Ribbon Week theme is "Be Happy. Be Brave. Be Drug Free." The theme is a call to action to speak out in support of health choices. It also serves as a reminder that we are all empowered with shaping the communities around us through positivity, bravery and strength.
Join us in committing to a drug free life style through the following pledge:
PARENT PLEDGE
As parents and citizens, we will talk to our children and the children in our lives about the dangers of drug abuse.
We will set clear rules for our children about not using drugs.
We will set a good example for our children by not using illegal drugs or medicine without a prescription.
We will monitor our children's behavior and enforce appropriate consequences, so that our rules are respected.
We will encourage family and friends to follow the same guidelines to keep children safe from substance abuse.
YOUTH PLEDGE
I pledge to grow up safe, healthy and drug free by:
Understanding the dangers of drug use and abuse.
Respecting myself and being drug free.
Spreading the word to family and friends about the importance of being healthy and drug free.
