Red Ribbon Week

Not to derail but I thought the red ribbon was for AIDS awareness? Or do I have my ribbon colors screwy?

You are correct, the Red Ribbon, in the ribbon shape is the Aids Awareness ribbon.
The programs that they teach in the schools for red ribbon week, the young people get red bracelets, a flat red ribbon to wear, or any number of things... and have the bright red DARE logo all over campus.
Its, at our school, to teach drug and alchol awareness, and to encourage other activities.

Why the two are so close in proximity or relation, I dont know.
