King or Queen
A King or Queen is anyone with special needs, age 14 and older, that wants to experience one of the best nights of their lives. Dinner, dancing, karaoke, limo rides, and a red carpet entrance are just a few of the activities that they get to participate in at Night to Shine. We want to show each King and Queen that they are not only loved by God, but loved and honored by us.
To register a King or Queen, click the above photo or the link at the top of the page.
Volunteer
Not only is it one of the best nights of 2019 for our Kings and Queens, it will also be one of the best nights of the year for all of our volunteers. Tim Tebow describes Night to Shine as his “favorite night of the year.” We want you to experience true joy by serving on one of 17 Teams created to honor our Kings and Queens.
