About Night to Shine
Night to Shine™ Event Management System
Empowering churches worldwide to create unforgettable prom experiences for people with special needs through innovative technology and heartfelt dedication.
Our Story
The Night to Shine™ Event Management System was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to make it easier for churches to host extraordinary prom experiences for people with special needs. Founded in partnership with the Tim Tebow Foundation, our platform addresses the unique challenges that church volunteers face when organizing these life-changing events.
After witnessing countless dedicated volunteers struggling with spreadsheets, paper forms, and disconnected systems, we knew there had to be a better way. Our team of developers, event coordinators, and ministry leaders came together to create a comprehensive solution that handles everything from volunteer coordination to guest registration, ensuring that every Night to Shine event is executed with excellence.
Our Mission
To provide churches with the tools, support, and technology they need to create magical Night to Shine experiences that celebrate the unique gifts and talents of people with special needs, while ensuring compliance with Tim Tebow Foundation standards and making event management stress-free for organizers.
