Yes, 7-Eleven typically offers a free Slurpee on or around Red Ribbon Week, which promotes drug prevention and awareness. This promotion is part of their ongoing efforts to encourage community engagement and support for healthy choices. However, specific dates and details may vary each year, so it's best to check 7-Eleven's official announcements for the latest information.
No, You CANT! My daughter and I just went to 711 to get one wearing our RRW wristband and they said "only certain stores do this." I guess the other 711 non-particiapating stores are too high to participate!?! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Red ribbon week is usually celebrated at schools around the United States. Schools promote this week and have activities surrounding it to remind their students to stay drug free.
Red Ribbon Week started in Mexico 1985, I think.
The reason people wear red on red ribbon week is to support the drug prevention campaign. A nationally recognized week for groups and individuals to take a stand against drugs.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! During Red Ribbon Week, wearing a red ribbon bracelet can symbolize your commitment to living a drug-free life and supporting others to do the same. It's a wonderful way to show unity and spread awareness about the importance of making healthy choices. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, wearing that red ribbon bracelet can help create a brighter, more positive world for everyone.
"Red Ribbon week is for remembering people who have AIDS or HIV. You can celebrate this week by making a quilt for people with aids and selling it, and then donating the proceeds to aids charity."

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. Although the start end dates can vary slightly depending on the organization and source, Red Ribbon Week generally takes place the last full week in October, with the weekends before and following the last full week included as appropriate celebration dates. This year Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated October 22-30, 2011. Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and education and a personal commitment to live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of drug free America. And, perhaps more importantly, Red Ribbon Week commemorates the ultimate sacrifice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at the hands of drug traffikers in Mexico while fighting the battle against illegal drugs to keep our country and children safe :)
