PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College Student-Athlete Advisory Board (S.A.A.B.) teamed up with students from nearby Robert F. Kennedy Elementary School (Providence, R.I.) to promote "Red Ribbon Week" here at PC's Mullaney Gymnasium in Alumni Hall.

Red Ribbon Week exists on a national level and its purpose is to present a unified and visible commitment toward a drug-free America. Providence College student-athletes spent time talking with 40-50 fourth-graders from the Robert F. Kennedy School about their choices in taking a stand against drugs as well as the opportunity to shoot a few hoops.
