Each year the Delaware County Prevention Council (DCPC), in conjunction with many local agencies and supporters, celebrates this campaign throughout all of Delaware County and in every Delaware County elementary school. DCPC has provided all public elementary schools in Delaware County with items such as tee shirts, educational materials, and our drug-free message items to celebrate Red Ribbon Week for over 20 years. This year, Red Ribbon week will be celebrated October 23-31. We are asking for donations and sponsorships to help us to be able to continue to spread our drug-free message to the students in our community.

This year’s Red Ribbon event will once again be a community breakfast at Cornerstone Center for the Arts beginning at 7:00 am on Tuesday, October 21st. The PRIDE team will be performing with a hot buffet breakfast served by Pete’s Catering. This year our speakers will be focusing on the continuing issue of drug and alcohol misuse that many in our county continue to struggle with. These community members will be able to speak on their lived experience and help to Break the Stigma that so many still face.
