(Jacksonville, FL, February 8, 2018) – With 540 host churches across the United States and in 16 countries, there is a good chance Night to Shine, a prom for people with special needs, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation, is happening near you this Friday night from 6-9pm! In towns across America and around the world, each Night to Shine prom will welcome their honored guests with a red carpet, cheering crowd and friendly paparazzi and, once inside, deliver the royal treatment, including hair and makeup stations, shoe shining stations, corsages and boutonnieres, a karaoke room and, of course, dancing. The highlight of the night will come when each guest is crowned king or queen of the prom.

Excitement is building as the Tim Tebow Foundation prepares for this unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs.
