Franklin’s 7th annual Night to Shine Prom will be held on Friday, Feb. 9, at the Moss Valley Venue. This event, sponsored by The Tim Tebow Foundation and locally hosted by Cartoogechaye Baptist Church and Discover Church, will be a night of honoring our special-needs community.

More than 100 guests and close to 200 volunteers will come together for a night of celebration and fun. Guests will begin their special evening by walking down the Red Carpet surrounded by cheering family, friends, volunteers and paparazzi.

Once inside, they will enjoy a delicious dinner, followed by a night of dancing, limo rides, karaoke, face painting, shoeshines, hair and makeup touch-ups, and photo ops. At the end of the evening, an inspirational video from Tim and Demi Tebow will be shown and then each guest will be crowned King or Queen of the prom.

Night to Shine involves the whole community and provides a chance to give back to some of our most deserving citizens by showing them how much they are loved, valued, and that they are all truly Kings and Queens in our eyes.

We have been so blessed over the years with such a tremendous amount of support from our community, whether it be volunteers helping with all aspects of the prom, donations of prom attire, individual guest sponsorship, or other donations. We will be looking for sponsors for our 2025 Night to Shine Prom, so if anyone is interested, email to [email protected] for more information.

Night to Shine is a night for the churches to shine, the volunteers to shine, our honored guests to shine, and most importantly, God to shine.
