Night to Shine 2026

Grace Community Church is excited to host Night to Shine again on Friday, February 13th, 2026 from 6-9 pm! This FREE event which is sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation is for teens and adults ages 14 and older with special needs.

This year we are pleased to announce that Night to Shine will be at Vaerus Aviation.

Please contact [email protected] with any questions. 

What Guests can expect:

Every guest enters this complimentary event on the red carpet complete with a warm welcome from a from a friendly crowd and paparazzi. Once inside, guests will receive the royal treatment, including hair touch-ups, makeup stations, shoe shining areas, limousine rides, corsages or boutonnieres, a catered dinner,  prom favors, and a dance floor…all leading up to the moment when each guest is crowned king or queen of the prom!

Every guest is paired with one of our volunteers that is 16 or older who we call a “Buddy”. A Buddy is assigned 1:1 with a guest and they eat, dance, and accompany their guest throughout the evening to make sure that each guest’s needs are met. Each buddy has submitted a background check to us for the safety of every guest. We attempt to pair each guest with a buddy of the same gender unless otherwise specified by the guest’s guardian or parent.

What Volunteers can expect:

Due to the overwhelming response over the last two years, our biggest volunteer need is a team of “Buddies”.  Buddies are volunteers (16 and older) that are assigned 1:1 with a guest (teen or adult with special needs) to eat, dance, and accompany their guest throughout the evening to make sure that each guest’s needs are met. In 2024, we needed a team of over 200 buddies. Please let us know if you are willing to be a buddy!

If you are not comfortable volunteering as a buddy, we have a few other volunteer roles available to help make this night extra special for our guests.
