The City of Santa Clarita, along with the City Council and Blue Ribbon Task Force, will host the 8th Annual Evening of Remembrance on tomorrow at 7 p.m. at the Youth Grove in Central Park.
This ceremonial event serves as a time of tribute to local youth lost in traffic-related collisions, while raising awareness about and stressing the importance of safe, conscientious driving. The event will include a “Forever Young” slide show presentation, a candle lighting ceremony, and a reading of the 84 names represented at the site.

The Evening of Remembrance takes place at the Youth Grove memorial, which features pillars that mimic cut tree stumps representing a young life cut short. The pillars surround a central monument urging the community to “Know More” about safe driving habits, and to pledge that “No More” young lives will be lost behind the wheel.
For more information on the Evening of Remembrance or the Youth Grove, contact Community Services Administrator Janine Prado at (661) 250-3716 or visit Santa-Clarita.com.
