Join the Movement to Keep St. Tammany Drug-Free

The Seymore D’Fair Foundation invites you to be part of a transformational initiative that brings together schools, businesses, and families across St. Tammany Parish. Through the Wrap St. Tammany in Red program, we aim to foster a drug-free culture for our youth, one community effort at a time. Imagine a future where every child feels empowered to make healthy choices and every community member plays a role in creating a safe, supportive environment. Together, we can make this vision a reality.

What Is Wrap St. Tammany in Red?

• The Wrap St. Tammany in Red initiative is a bold step in the fight against drug abuse. It’s more than an event—it’s a movement that unites the entire parish in a week-long celebration during National Red Ribbon Week. At the heart of this initiative is Seymore D’Fair, our Drug-Free Ambassador, who inspires children and adults alike to commit to a drug-free lifestyle.

• Through vibrant community events, school-based activities, and creative expressions like red ribbons adorning buildings and landmarks, Wrap St. Tammany in Red symbolizes hope and resilience. Each ribbon tied represents a promise to protect our youth and equip them with the tools to make informed, healthy decisions.

How the Initiative Works

• Wrap St. Tammany in Red combines education, community engagement, and visibility to promote its drug-free message. It starts with Kiki’s Red Ribbon Week School Program, which offers age-appropriate, interactive modules for students from kindergarten through high school. These lessons teach self-esteem, decision-making, and strategies to handle peer pressure. For older students, activities like role-playing, workshops, and creative campaigns make learning both engaging and impactful.

• The initiative also encourages community-wide participation. Local businesses, schools, and government offices join forces to create a visual tapestry of red ribbons, banners, and flags throughout the parish. In addition, the campaign’s specialty license plates, emblazoned with the message “Louisiana is Better with Me 100% Drug-Free,” bring this movement to the streets, creating millions of impressions across St. Tammany Parish.

Making a Difference Together

• The impact of Wrap St. Tammany in Red extends far beyond a single week. Over the years, it has helped:

• Reach thousands of students with essential life skills.

• Forge meaningful partnerships with schools, businesses, and local agencies.

• Create 4.3 million impressions through specialty license plates, spreading awareness on the roads of our parish.

• "Wrap St. Tammany in Red is more than a campaign—it’s a movement bringing our community together to protect and educate our youth," says a Parish Official. Every effort made by individuals, schools, and businesses strengthens the message that St. Tammany stands united against drug abuse.
