Tim Tebow To Organize Over 200 Proms For People With Special Needs

While he wasn’t that useful at the NFL level, Tim Tebow seems to be a legitimately good guy. Last year, his foundation sponsored 44 proms on Valentine’s Day weekend for people with special needs. This year, he’s upping the ante and organizing over 200 events spread across 48 states and eight different countries.

Once arriving at Night to Shine, guests will walk down a red carpet lined with photographers. Once inside the venue, they can get their corsages and boutonnieres, visit hair and make up stations, sing karaoke and dance.

“Every time I think about it, I’m so humbled and amazed by the way God has continued to grow Night to Shine,” Tebow told People. “I can’t wait for February 12th; it’s my favorite night of the year.”

“When I was 15 years old, I began to realize the importance of fighting for people who can’t fight for themselves,” he continued. “As a foundation, we are so passionate about people with special needs, and this event is a great time to tell them how much they are loved by God and by all of us.”

“We hope that the movement of Night to Shine not only transforms the way we think about Valentine’s Day, but also launches or enhances ongoing special needs ministries within churches around the world,” added Erik Dellenback, the executive director of the Tim Tebow Foundation. ‘And provides a place where our honored guests can be celebrated and loved throughout the year.”
