What is Night to Shine?
Night to Shine (Friday, February 13, 2026) is a complimentary event for people with special needs hosted by local churches around the world. The event is open to anyone living with disabilities, ages 14 and older. Each event is unique to its location, but some cornerstone activities included across all of them are a red carpet entrance complete with a warm welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi, hair and makeup, shoeshines, karaoke, gifts, a catered dinner, a Sensory Room, a Respite Room for parents and caregivers, dancing, and a crowning ceremony where every guest is honored as a King or a Queen – the way God sees them each and every day.
How to Volunteer at Night to Shine?
Night to Shine requires the help of thousands of volunteers across the globe and is a wonderful way to connect with and serve your community of people with special needs! From serving as a guest’s buddy or member of the red carpet paparazzi, to keeping the enthusiasm up on the dance floor or serving food, there is something for everyone.
To volunteer at Night to Shine, you can register and receive a background check. Once registered, we will provide you with the necessary information and training you will need to serve at Night to Shine on either of our training days on Saturday, February 7 @ 9 am or Tuesday, February 10 @ 6:30 pm.
Become a Sponsor
The evening is an occasion that each Night to Shine King and Queen will remember for a lifetime, and that he or she looks forward to each year. However, we cannot host this event without our team of over 600 volunteers or without your financial assistance to make Night to Shine possible. We ask that you prayerfully consider partnering with us for Night to Shine as we take this opportunity to shower the love of Christ over our worthy friends, their amazing parents and caregivers.

Our Kings and Queens want to look awesome for the Prom. We would love for you to sign up and volunteer to help them pick the perfect outfit. This shopping day is on Saturday, Dec. 6th from 10 am-1 pm in our NextGen Worship space. We will also be accepting donations of men’s suits and women’s formal dresses, specifically plus size. Donations can be dropped off at The Fellowship Center (labeled for NTS) or at FC.
