For the 17th consecutive year, Con-way Inc. employees are turning out in force to bring messages about the dangers of drugs to U.S. schoolchildren and encourage drug-free living.
Their efforts are part of the National Family Partnership and U.S. Department of Defense's annual Red Ribbon Week, a national drug abuse prevention campaign created in honor of slain Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena.
As part of the program, Con-way employees "adopt" schools where they distribute red ribbons, make presentations about the dangers of drugs and ask students to pledge to stay drug-free. This year, more than 300 Con-way employees will distribute nearly a million red ribbons during the week of Oct. 22 at more than 1,000 schools across the country from Maine to California. Scheduled activities during the visits include anti-drug speeches, parades and pep rallies. Con-way has supported Red Ribbon Week since 1990.
Each adopted school will also display a poster featuring three-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Jack Sprague and his daughter Paige. Sprague drives the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota for Wyler Racing in the year-long racing series.
Con-way is a $4.7 billion freight transportation and global logistics services company headquartered in San Mateo, Calif.
