Project Graduation Lawrence has put together a graduation party for seniors from all area high schools.

Project Graduation invites members of the 2014 graduating class to join them for a fun, safe, drug- and alcohol-free graduation celebration from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. May 21 from at Abe & Jake’s Landing.

The theme for this year’s celebration is “Casino Night.” Prizes will include a flat-screen TV, digital tablet, dorm furniture, gift cards, cash and a car. Tickets for the event are $10.
