United We Stand Against Drugs!
2018 Red Ribbon Week Events
URS celebrates Red Ribbon Week with many schools and communities across the country. The purpose of this campaign is to raise awareness of the drug use and drug abuse in our youth and to take steps to prevent it. Here at URS we try to promote being DRUG FREE by making healthy choices. During Red Ribbon Week, let’s really show our healthy selves in everything we do. Let’s do it!
