A worldwide celebration of people with special needs

Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom-night experience, centered on God's love, honoring and valuing people with special needs ages 14 and older.

Every year on the Friday before Valentine's Day, churches across the globe host Night to Shine at the same time — bringing congregations, communities, and families living with disability closer together in fellowship. Here in Minnesota, Holy Cross Lutheran Church and St. Michael's Lutheran Church partner to host our local celebration.

Each honored guest walks the red carpet, is paired with a volunteer buddy for the evening, and enjoys dinner, dancing, karaoke, a photo booth, and limo rides — all before being crowned king or queen of the prom.

People with disabilities make up roughly 16% of the global population and are one of the largest unreached people groups in the world. Night to Shine began as a way to reach this community with the love of Christ.
