Red Ribbon Week - Custom Wristbands Reinforce The Message

As Red Ribbon Week approaches, students are undoubtedly getting excited about the events planned for the nationwide anti-drug celebration. Educators and parents look for ways to reach children to show them the importance of being drug-free.

Custom silicone wristbands are an outstanding way to commemorate Red Ribbon Week, and serve as an ongoing reminder of the drug-free message. They're sure to get an enthusiastic reception form students, faculty and parents, and reinforce the message of the week.

Red Ribbon Week began as a way to honor U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who paid the ultimate price in the war on drugs in 1985. Camarena was working undercover in Mexico when he was abducted, tortured and murdered by drug dealers. Red Ribbon Week, observed the last full week in October, became a way to honor Camarena's memory and educate children on the importance of not using illegal drugs.

Wristbands are a great way to get and keep kids' attention. They enjoy wearing them, and showing them off. They're a terrific way to remind them of the importance of Red Ribbon Week and everything it stands for.

The basic debossed wristband style is particularly well-suited to the Red Ribbon Week message. They're attractive, available in a range of colors (including of course, red), and they can be priced as low as 14 cents each in quantity.
