Red Ribbon Week

How we celebrated Red Ribbon Week 2024

The Council on Chemical Abuse sponsors the National Red Ribbon Campaign by providing red ribbons and educational programming free upon request to Berks County schools. In 2024 COCA provided 40,000 Red Ribbons to schools across Berks County.

Red Ribbon Week is nationally recognized and celebrated as a symbol of support for efforts to reduce drug use through youth prevention and education programs. By wearing a red ribbon during the last week in October, individuals demonstrate their opposition to illegal drugs and illustrate their dedication to living drug-free. The National Red Ribbon Campaign is organized annually by The National Family Partnership. For 2024 the national theme is Life is a movie, film drug free.™

In 2024 COCA’s Prevention team celebrated Red Ribbon Week by providing 40,000 red ribbons to Berks County schools and hosting a free dinner and movie night in collaboration with Centro Hispano Daniel Torres Hispano.
