What is Night To Shine?
Night to Shine was started in 2014 by the Tim Tebow Foundation. This vision has impacted over 1,000 cities and 56 countries, where churches host a prom on the same night for adults with special needs.
​
Guests will be celebrated with a red-carpet welcome, crowns and tiaras, corsages and boutonnieres, games, dancing, dinner, photo portraits, and all-around VIP treatment. The vision is to provide an unforgettable night full of faith, hope and love. There are an estimated 1.3 billion people around the world are living with special needs. That's 1 out of every 6 people around the world who may have never heard that they matter, that they are loved, and that they are valued, worthy, royal, and precious Kings and Queens.
