We’re a little late sharing, but we couldn’t let this special evening go by without highlighting it. Night to Shine, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation, is a worldwide movement that began in 2014 and provides a free prom-night experience for people with special needs ages 14 and older. Held annually on the Friday before Valentine’s Day, Night to Shine celebrates each guest as a king or queen and reminds them of their worth and value.
While every Night to Shine event is unique, many include special touches like a red carpet entrance, hair and makeup stations, shoeshines, limousine rides, karaoke, dinner, dancing, a Sensory Room, a Respite Room for parents and caregivers, and a crowning ceremony where every guest is honored.
Individuals from our Residential program were invited to attend Night to Shine, hosted by the Toledo Christian Church in Toledo, Illinois, and had a wonderful time. They especially enjoyed walking the red carpet, dancing, and riding in the limo. Individuals and staff alike shared that it was a truly special evening, and we are so grateful they had the opportunity to be part of this worldwide celebration.
