YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Yuma County seniors are in for a night to remember as "In the Glow" Grad Night returns Friday evening at the Yuma Civic Center.

Hosted by the Yuma County Anti-Drug and Mental Health Coalitions, the event offers a safe, drug- and alcohol-free celebration space for graduates, complete with music, raffles, games, and prizes.

"We're excited. It's the second year we've brought it back after a 10-year break," said Joanne Fiser with the Yuma County Anti-Drug Coalition. "And now, it's indoors, a safe place for seniors to celebrate."

The event coincides with graduation night for Yuma Union High School District. More than 2,600 seniors will walk the stage during commencement ceremonies beginning at 8:00 p.m.

Each school will livestream its ceremony on its respective Facebook page so families can tune in from anywhere.
