Night to Shine 2026
February 13

In 2014, The Tim Tebow Foundation launched an event called "Night to Shine." This prom-like event is an evening designated to honor those with special needs while celebrating God's deep love for them. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people come together on one night for this unforgettable experience.

Church of the City is thrilled to host "Night to Shine" every year! The event is for individuals with special needs, ages 14 and older. These honored guests will receive gifts, limousine rides, a catered dinner, and more. At the end of the evening, each of our guests will be crowned as prom kings and queens!

We would love to have you join us as an honored guest or volunteer. Night to Shine 2026 will be hosted on February 13. Registration will open in late October of 2025.
