+National Red Ribbon Week extends contest due to Sandy
The National Family Partnership announced that the national contest for its 27th-annual Red Ribbon Week has been extended one more week, due to Hurricane Sandy. This means parents and students nationwide have more time to enter the contest; the original entry deadline was Nov. 2. The online voting period has also been extended by a week, and is now rescheduled for Nov. 10-24.
Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. In 1985 after the murder of a DEA agent, parents, youth and teachers in communities across the country began wearing red ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the destruction caused by drugs.
To participate in the contest, families and students will decorate the front of their homes with this year's message: "The Best Me Is Drug Free." To enter, take a photo with the family and their Red Ribbon Week decoration, then upload by Nov. 9 to www.redribbon.org/contest or www.facebook.com/RedRibbonWeek (must be parents or 18-plus to upload photos). To vote, visit www.redribbon.org/vote Nov. 10-24. Ten winners from regions across the U.S. will win. Winners will be announced at events at their winning schools in December.
