Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs, ages 14 and older. This worldwide movement sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation began in 2014.
Every guest of Night to Shine will enter their prom on a red carpet. Once inside attendees will receive VIP treatment including hair and makeup stations, shoe shining stations, corsages and boutonnieres, a karaoke room and of course, dancing! The highlight of the night will come when every one of the Night to Shine attendees is crowned as a king or queen of the prom.

The respite room (located in the same building as the Night to Shine prom) will provide the opportunity to rest and enjoy a night off, knowing that their loved one is having an amazing time in a safe, friendly, and Christ-centered environment, with a personally assigned buddy. Comfortable seating, food, beverages, and entertainment will be provided.
