This event will be hosted through local churches across the globe simultaneously on Feb. 7. 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 news release, WEPC is “excited to be a part of this worldwide movement that is uniting churches of different denominations all over the world with the common goal of celebrating people with special needs.”
Every guest of Night to Shine enters this complimentary event from a limousine ride, onto a red carpet complete with a warm welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi. Once inside, guests receive the royal treatment, including hair and makeup stations, shoe shining areas, corsages and boutonnieres, a catered dinner, karaoke, prom favors a dance floor, all leading up to the moment when each guest is crowned king or queen of the prom.
“It is awe inspiring to see how God is using the Church globally to stand up and advocate for people with special needs. I truly believe that the world is coming together through Night to Shine to celebrate the love that God has for us! Every town, every village, every state, every country needs a Night to Shine for their special needs community – a chance to be a part of something significant and life-changing … and to be blessed in the process,” said Tim Tebow, founder of the Tim Tebow Foundation.
As sponsor of Night to Shine, the Tim Tebow Foundation will provide each host church with the official 2020 Night to Shine Planning Manual, personalized guidance and support from a Tim Tebow Foundation staff member and access to free and discounted resources that will assist them in creating an unforgettable night for their guests. The foundation also has committed nearly $3.5 million in financial support to hundreds of churches needing assistance in hosting the event.
Local event Platinum Level sponsors include Blossers Photo Design Center; Titus Funeral Home; and Kathleen Stubbe Truitt. Gold Level sponsors include Toyota of Warsaw, Rice Ford Lincoln, Anderson Florist, Kaylynn Hamstra Photography and Infinity Salon. Silver Level sponsors include Forte Residential Inc. & Forte Home Health Care Inc., Lassus Bros Oil Inc., Latte Lounge, Warsaw Party Rental and Male Fashions.
The event launched in 2015 with 44 host churches and 15,000 volunteers honoring more than 7,000 kings and queens of the prom. This past February, 655 host churches and 200,000 volunteers came together to celebrate 100,000 honored guests with special needs. Now in its sixth year, the Tim Tebow Foundation anticipates 800 churches to sign up to host the event taking place this coming February.
