We can't wait to see all of our Kings🤴& Queens👸 on Friday, February 9, 2024!
We are so excited to be a host of Night to Shine 2024, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation! This is an unforgettable prom night experience centered on God’s love, celebrating people with special needs.
Every guest of Night to Shine enters this complimentary event on a red carpet, complete with a warm welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi. Once inside, guests receive the royal treatment, including limousine rides, corsages and boutonnieres, a catered dinner, karaoke, prom favors, and a dance floor… all leading up to the moment when each guest is crowned king or queen of the prom.
