The "Go Red for Red Ribbon" campaign encourages communities, organizations, and landmarks to display red lighting to raise awareness about the importance of living drug-free lives. “By lighting the Capitol dome red, Missourians join communities across the country in honoring the ongoing commitment to drug prevention and education,” said Governor Kehoe . “Red Ribbon Week serves as an important reminder of the role we all play in supporting healthy, drug-free futures for our youth.” To learn more about Red Ribbon Week, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has created a toolkit to help parents, teachers, educators, and community organizations to raise awareness about substance abuse. ###
