01What Night to Shine is
A night that lights up hearts
On one evening each year the prom is held in hundreds of places around the world.
Night to Shine is a worldwide prom night for people with disabilities, hosted in partnership with the Tim Tebow Foundation. Every year it brings thousands of people together to celebrate human dignity, worth and beauty.
Every guest is treated like a king or a queen — welcomed on the red carpet, surrounded by the kindness of volunteers and invited into a world of joy, dancing and moments worth remembering. It is more than an event — it is an experience of love, acceptance and real encounter.

12Why we do it
Why do we do this?
We believe that every person carries immense worth and holds a place in the world that no one else can fill. Night to Shine is that belief made visible — a space where people with disabilities meet joy, acceptance and unconditional love.
It is a night when not only the stars shine, but the guests, the volunteers, the community and hope itself.
