  2. The History of Red Ribbon Week

  3. On February 7, 1985, undercover Drug Enforcement Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was murdered by members of a drug gang in Mexico. He was buried with honors in his hometown of Calexico, California.Enrique's congressman, Representative Duncan Hunter, moved by the agent's death, met with Mr. Henry Lozano, Director of Teen Challenge, and Mr. David Dhillon, a Calexico High School teacher to call for the creation of Camarena Clubs to promote the awareness of the dangers of drug abuse.

  4. In honor of Kiki, the first Camarena Club was formed in April of 1985 at Calexico High School where Kiki Camarena and Henry Lozano graduated in 1966. On April 20, 1985, 100 students signed a pledge that was written by Congressman Hunter's wife, Lynne. On April 26, Mrs. Hunter, Mr. Lozano, Mr. Dhillon, and Calexico High School students presented the signed Camarena Club Pledge to First Lady Nancy Reagan at the National Parent's Resource Institute for Drug Education Conference in Washington, DC. On June 16, inspired by Kiki's sacrifice, the Virginia Federation of Parents and the Illinois Drug Education Alliance called on all Americans to wear red ribbons to symbolize their commitment to fight drug abuse.

  5. Raising Awareness In 1988 Congress proclaimed the first Red Ribbon Week. Since then, the Red Ribbon movement to remember and honor Kiki's death and raise drug awareness is celebrated by millions of students and teachers, along with community organizations, and law enforcement agencies. Today, Red Ribbon Week is held in thousands of schools and communities all across America.
