Eighty percent of the Oak Ridge High School Class of 2015 attended the 18th annual Graduation Celebration in May, organizers said.

Graduation Celebration was Thursday, May 28, at the Oak Ridge Civic Center. It’s made possible by gifts from local residents and businesses, a press release said.

Each year, more than $25,000 is raised to host the event on graduation night. Graduates are invited to the free party, where they can win cash and prizes like Bonnaroo tickets or up to $3,000 cash at the finale.

The event also requires nearly 200 volunteers to make the event activities possible. Volunteer jobs are available each year in Security, Inflatables, Thank You Notes, Casino, Food, Prizes, and more.

For more information about the event, visit www.graduationcelebration.org or contact Matt Reedy at (865) 425-3442 or via email at mreedy@oakridgetn.gov.
