Night to Shine 2026

What is Night to Shine?
Night to Shine is an unforgettable worldwide celebration event, centered on God's love, honoring and valuing people with special needs. This event is hosted each year on the Friday before Valentine’s Day by churches across the globe, bringing congregations, communities, and families living with disability closer together in fellowship. The Tim Tebow Foundation started Night to Shine 12 years ago as a way to reach this community with the love of Christ. People experiencing special needs make up 16% of the global population and are one of the largest unreached people groups in the world.
