CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Neon colors lit up the night sky on Saturday during the 10th annual Glo and Go Night fun run.
People who participated wore glo-sticks and costumes as they walked along the trails at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Members of the American Association of University Women were there to show their support.
And it wasn't just adults participating.
Children and pets alike joined in the fund-raising event.
"We're hoping to raise money for the Y, which is a wonderful part of our community," said AAUW member Sylvia Rendon.
Funds raised at the fun run will be given to the Corpus Christi YWCA.
