Red Ribbon Week 2011

Posted on by

It’s that time of year– Red Ribbon Week 2011 will take place from October 22nd through the 30th.  Schools and community groups around the country will honor the sacrifice of DEA Agent Kiki Camarena in the fight against drugs, and pledge their commitment to be drug free.

Need supplies so that your school or students mark the occasion with spirit?  Hodges Badge Company offers not only the traditional anti-drug designs on red ribbons, but a wide range of customized educational takeaways. 

Put your own message on a dog tag. Available with or without engraved plate.

New this year (and very popular) are both stock and custom dog tags.  The dog tags are printed in full color, and can be ordered with a personalized engraved gold plate on the reverse side.

You can also choose to pass out buttons, keychains or ribbon wristbands.

Of course the classic red ribbon is kept in stock in over 40 designs.  Even better, prices for the ribbons have come down for 2011!  So even with a tight budget, each student can still have the chance to show their choice to be drug free.

Does your school or group have special activities to mark Red Ribbon Week?  We’d love to hear your story or see your pictures of the symbolic celebration.

This year’s Red Ribbon Week is coming up!  From October 23-31, Red Ribbon Week, the nation’s largest annual drug prevention campaign, will take place in schools and community centers across the country. For 25 years Red Ribbon Week has helped to preserve Special Agent Kiki Camarena’s  memory and further the cause for which he gave his life.

Here at Hodges Badge, we’ve designed new red ribbons, a new multicolor flag wristband, and a new multicolor ribbon in honor of Special Agent Camarena.

 Any ribbon or roll with one of our 30 stock designs can be customized with your school or sponsor’s name.   Take a look at our full range of Drug-Free products on our website.

While pinning red ribbons certainly makes a statement, what else can you do?  The National Family Partnership has designed a planning guide, which includes ideas such as decorating your classroom’s door, having a red shirt day, or having a poster contest or essay contest.

Every year in October schools and organizations around the country unite to raise awareness and promote a drug free lifestyle. While honoring Kiki Camarena, a DEA special agent killed in the line of duty, the nations young people pleadge to lead a healthy and drug free life.

Hodges has a Red Ribbon Flyer to help with ideas. We hav new “drug free” products and slogans each year. This year we’ve added keychains button and two NEW slogans: “I have better things to do than drugs” and “The key to life: stay drug free!”.

I love the keychain buttons. They combines three great promotional components: useful keychains, colorful buttons and inspirational drug free slogans.  Kids will love the bright and colorful designs yet still get the important message conveyed in the button. Plus you can put your school or sponsor name on each.
