An Unforgettable Experience
Night to Shine is a prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs ages 14 and older. Every guest is welcomed like a king or queen with a red carpet, a buddy for the evening, dinner, dancing, a crowning ceremony and more!
Sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation, this is a worldwide movement, with hundreds of proms taking place around the world on the same night. Ours is co-hosted by Bay Presbyterian Church and Strongsville United Methodist Church.
Register an Honored Guest
Parents and guardians are welcome to drop off their guest or to stay and enjoy dinner in our Parent/Guardian Room. The registration form will ask about your plans for the evening.
To register, please complete the online guest registration form. Space is limited. Once the event is full, we’ll add your guest to a wait list.
Registering multiple guests from a group home or day program? Please follow instructions on the Group Home Guide.
Did you know more than 300 people are needed to serve during Night to Shine? If you’d like to volunteer, please complete the online volunteer registration form and choose your preferred serving role.
Before you register, please note:
- Volunteers must be at least 14 years old. Volunteers under 18 need a parent or guardian’s consent.
