On February 13, hundreds of kings and queens will be crowned in Gwinnett County alone. These royals will strut a paparazzi-filled red carpet, partake in a catered sit-down dinner and dance the night away at an unforgettable prom experience.
This incredible event, known as Night to Shine, is a worldwide event that was started by the Tim Tebow Foundation. It’s open to anyone who has a disability aged 14 and older to attend and is hosted by local churches across the globe.
Honored guests are paired with vetted volunteer buddies who escort them through the complimentary magical evening. Parents and caregivers are welcome to stay and enjoy dinner and an evening in the respite room lounge at the event site.
Gwinnett Church is set to host its 8th annual Night to Shine prom this year. “We are able to host a maximum of 400 kings and queens,” shared Al Causey, head of Adult Ministries at Gwinnett Church. “The event involves 200 event volunteers, as well as 400-500 teenage and adult buddies who serve as dates for the night.” Gwinnett Church’s Night to Shine features a red carpet entrance, limo rides, catered dinner, photo booths with characters, candy stations, karaoke, a balloon drop and of course, dancing.
Each event is different depending on the host church, but all Night to Shine events include a crowning ceremony where each and every guest is honored as a King or Queen.
