Grace Community Church Hosts Tim Tebow “Night to Shine”

The Tim Tebow Foundation has selected Grace Community Church in New Canaan, partnering with STAR, Inc., Lighting the Way, to be one of the 350 locations to host an unforgettable prom night for young adults with disabilities and their “buddy” peers. This exciting event will be held simultaneously worldwide on Friday evening February 10th.

The non-denominational evening celebrates the unique value of every individual, with a focus on people with special needs ages 14 and older. Katie Banzhaf, Executive Director of STAR said, “Night to Shine promises to be a once in a lifetime experience for people with special needs, where all will be treated royally. We want to reach out to everyone in the area who qualifies to be guests to join us for this incredible, free event.”

Guests will be celebrated as kings and queens, supported by their typical peers (age range 16-21) and event volunteers for activities including greeting, crowning ceremony, decorations, food & beverages, paparazzi, photography, parking, safety and more. Volunteers of all ages are welcome to participate.

Julia Hughes, Executive Director of Grace Community Church said, “We’re thrilled to collaborate with so many people representing a variety of communities in Fairfield County. Working together to make this a really special evening for these young adults has been amazing. We know that it will be a night to remember for everyone involved!”
