This Valentine’s Day weekend, more than 100,000 people with disabilities will be celebrated at special proms around the world as part of Night to Shine, an annual event organized by the Tim Tebow Foundation. Over 950 churches across all 50 states and more than 70 countries are hosting inclusive, free proms for individuals with disabilities ages 14 and up.

Each event features a red carpet entrance, dancing, karaoke, hair and makeup stations, limousine rides, and a catered dinner. Sensory-friendly spaces and respite areas for caregivers are also available. At the end of the night, every guest is crowned king or queen of the prom.

Night to Shine is about joy, dignity, and making sure people with disabilities are truly seen and celebrated.
