Helping Schools and Communities Prepare for the Nation's Largest Drug-Prevention Campaign
CALHOUN, KY / ACCESS Newswire / September 17, 2026 / As the official supplier of Red Ribbon Week products since 1987, NIMCO, Inc. is reminding schools, prevention coalitions, and community organizations nationwide to secure their classroom materials early for Red Ribbon Week 2026, taking place October 23-31.
The National Family Partnership has announced the Red Ribbon Week 2026 theme, "Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.™" The slogan was selected through NFP's national student contest and submitted by a Connecticut student, whose message reframes what a hero looks like: not an adult or an athlete, but a classmate making a healthy choice. NIMCO offers a wide range of themed products to help classrooms and campuses bring this year's message to life.
Schools and organizations can choose from:
- Banners & Posters: Ideal for hallways, entrances, and event spaces
- Bracelets & Stickers: Fun, wearable reminders of the week's message
- T-Shirts & Apparel: Great for staff, student leaders and community volunteers
- Educational Handouts: Activity sheets, pledge cards and informational brochures
- Custom-Printed Items: Personalize with school names, mascots or local slogans alongside the official 2026 theme
"For nearly four decades, we've been honored to support the country's largest drug-prevention campaign," said David Martin, Multimedia Production Manager at NIMCO, Inc. "This year's theme is a reminder that being a hero starts with the choices students make every day. By ordering early, schools can make sure they have what they need to bring 'Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.' to life in their classrooms and hallways."
NIMCO offers both in-stock and customizable items, with standard shipping times of 1-2 business days for ready-to-ship products and extended lead times for custom designs. To guarantee on-time delivery, the company recommends placing orders well before the October celebration.
