Inaugural ‘Night To Shine’ Held Friday
By Staff Report-
Night to Shine is a prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs, ages 14 and older, according to a provided news release. This worldwide movement took place at over 550 churches around the world.
Following pampering of hair, makeup and shoe shinning, all guests arrived by limousine to the event and were each greeted on a red carpet complete with a warm welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi, the release states. Once inside, guests received the royal treatment, including corsages and boutonnieres, a catered dinner, karaoke, prom favors for each honored guest, a Respite Room for parents and caretakers and a dance floor, all leading up to the moment when each guest was crowned king or queen of the prom.
Steven Kuhn, Kosciusko Community YMCA, said, “This night far surpassed anything we imagined. The joy of the night will not wear off for a long time. It was such an honor to help share the good news of God’s love to all the guest by showing them our earthly love through this event. It was special.”
As sponsor of Night to Shine, the Tim Tebow Foundation provided each host church with the official 2018 Night to Shine Planning Manual, the official Night to Shine Prom Kit, complete with decorations and gifts for the guests, and personalized guidance and support from a Tim Tebow Foundation staff member. Many of those decorations and gifts were made locally by Shindigz, a worldwide supplier to the Tim Tebow Foundation for the Night to Shine.
