"It is of highest importance to KSWP and KAVX to support the health and safety of children. The Red Ribbon Coloring Contest is a great way to open the lines of communication between children and their parents and teachers to education kids about the dangers of drugs and alcohol early in life," said general manager Al Ross.
KSWP and KAVX are part of the Lufkin Educational Broadcasting Foundation (LEBF), a nonprofit organization providing the community with information, news, entertainment and encouragement.
