WHAT is Night to Shine?
Night to Shine is a worldwide, unforgettable prom night experience that is changing Valentine’s Day weekend from simply a celebration of love, to a celebration of God’s love for people with special needs. Guests will be honored with a friendly paparazzi red carpet, crowns and tiaras, corsages and boutonnieres, limo rides, games, dancing, food, photos and VIP treatment. The vision is to provide a night for our guests to shine and most importantly, for Christ’s love to Shine.
What is the Tim Tebow Foundation?
Created in 2010, this foundation and all of their outreach initiatives were primarily created to show God’s love to children around the world. To celebrate the foundation’s 5-year anniversary, they sponsored Night To Shine proms in 50 different cities across the country.

Do guests need chaperones?
Our chaperones are called “buddies.” Each guest will be accompanied by a buddy throughout the evening, providing companionship and any general assistance needed during the event. A guest may bring his or her own buddy or The Genesis Project will provide one. All buddies 18 years old and up will have passed a background check and have attended mandatory training at The Genesis Project. Parents or caregivers may accompany guests but are encouraged to enjoy a night of respite or join our Hospitality Event instead if at all feasible. We realize circumstances may prevent this from being possible.
What is the Hospitality Event?
Night to Shine is for parents and caregivers too! In order to HONOR the incredible parents and caregivers of our guests, you are invited to a special event happening on campus that night designed specifically for you. There will be food, entertainment, door prizes and more. Or you may choose to enjoy a time of respite off campus instead. This is YOUR night as well; so don’t feel obligated to attend the Hospitality Event.
What is the dress code for Night To Shine?
Guests are invited to “dress their best” but renting formal wear is not necessary. We do have a limited number of prom dresses available. Let us know if you’re interested in using one of these.
What provisions will be made for the safety of guests?
The Genesis Project will have local law enforcement and church security personnel on campus at all times.
What about medical needs?
The Genesis Project will have numerous medical personnel onsite during the entire event.
