A Night to Remember

Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs ages 16 and older.

This February 7, 2025, we celebrate our seventh anniversary of hosting Night to Shine! Night to Shine will be an in-person experience this year. We will be having our dance floor, karaoke and of course, the biggest moment of the night - our Crowning Ceremony! This is something you definitely won’t want to miss!

This past year, on one night, 721 churches from around the world came together to host Night to Shine for approximately 115,000 honoured guests through the support of 215,000 volunteers! Watch our the Official 2023 Highlight video here:

 
 
 
 
 

An impact that goes further than one night.

Loved

"My son has been sick and not feeling well for the last 4 days, today he was walking around with a huge smile on his face  - one that had been lost for sometime now. Thank you so much for putting this together, you don't know what this means to this mom who has been struggling for a few days. Thank you!"

A Time to Shine

"My pal for the evening was a delight! She arrived with her friends and we did everything together. They enjoyed it all; from getting their makeup done to flaunting their glow sticks on the dance floor. It was their night to shine and shine they did."

Thankful

"Many times during the event, my guest would thank me for being there for her and I would always respond by thanking her right back. And I truly meant it. If she hadn’t come out, I would’ve missed out on so much fun! I wasn’t there as a favour to anybody. It was a privilege to be there. By participating in the event, my guest had allowed me into her world, if only for a few hours, and for that, I will forever be thankful."
