CALHOUN, Ky., February 23, 2023 (Newswire.com) - In January, the National Family Partnership (NFP) unveiled its pick for the official 2023 Red Ribbon Week theme, "Be Kind to Your Mind. Live Drug-Free." Each year, the National Family Partnership and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) cosponsor the official Red Ribbon Week theme contest, inviting millions of Americans to submit a unique slogan that captures the essence and mission of the campaign. This theme will be the main focus of a new official line of Red Ribbon Week-themed products and merchandise supplied by NIMCO, Inc. - the official merchandiser and partner of the NFP.
Danielle Helm, a Youth Service Coordinator from Russell County Middle School in Russell Springs, Kentucky, submitted this year's winning Red Ribbon Week theme.
In addition to the honor of being the driving force behind this year's campaign, Danielle received $500 in official Red Ribbon Week products courtesy of NIMCO, Inc.
NIMCO is the #1 place families, children and schools can purchase Red Ribbon Week theme merchandise and products to support ongoing drug education in schools and communities around the country.
"NIMCO, Inc. is proud to be a part of this national campaign and make a difference in the lives of our youth by promoting this powerful message of living drug-free," says NIMCO spokesperson Paula Jones. "Danielle's theme is about making positive choices to be happy, healthy and kind to our minds, and we're excited to play our part in spreading her message."
The NFP organized the first Nationwide Red Ribbon campaign in response to the murder of Drug Enforcement Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985. After his murder, leaders and youth in communities around the country began wearing Red Ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raising awareness of the destruction caused by drugs in America.
