The volunteers tied vibrant red bows on the decorative downtown lampposts on Great Neck Rd and Montauk Highway in Copiague honoring Red Ribbon Week.
Red Ribbon Week, celebrated every year during the week of October 23-31 is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention and awareness program. It aims to bring awareness to the importance of support of nationwide anti-drug programs, living a drug-free life and taking a stand against drugs.
