In honor of his sacrifice and those of others, the Red Ribbon Week campaign was formalized in 1988 with President and Mrs. Reagan serving as honorary chairpersons. Today, the eight-da- y celebration is sponsored by the National Family Partnership (previously known as the Federation of Parents for Drug-Fre- e Youth), and has become the annual catalyst to show intolerance for drugs in our schools, work places, and communities.
