The Cincinnati Young Marines organize an annual Drug Demand Reduction event to promote a healthy, drug-free lifestyle among youth aged 8-18. This initiative focuses on anti-drug education, character, leadership development, community service, volunteerism, and veterans' service. Proceeds support educational programs and community outreach. The event anchors National Red Ribbon Week, a nationwide campaign against drug abuse, highlighting its consequences. Established in honor of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, the Red Ribbon Week is observed by millions of Americans committed to living free from drugs. Participants are encouraged to join together, spreading the message of strength and positive life choices without illicit substances.
