Churches across the world, including dozens in Georgia, hosted Night to Shine events earlier this month. Night to Shine, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation, gives churches a chance to welcome guests with special needs to an event designed to show them that they are loved and valued.
The event was created in 2014 as a way to share the love of God with people living with disabilities. According to the foundation, the event “celebrates their worth and value. When someone hears that they are loved and that they have a purpose, it can change everything.”
The foundation reports that in 2025, Night to Shine events were held in 821 churches across the U.S. and in 62 countries around the world, on 6 continents. Since its inception, hundreds of thousands of volunteers have worked to make the events possible.
