What is Night to Shine
A celebration of the value of every guest.
Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God's love, for people with special needs ages 14 and older. Since 2015, hundreds of churches across the world have joined together on one shared night to honor their guests.
In Richmond, we host at four partner churches across the metro area — so every guest is crowned king or queen right in their own community.

“Everything about Night to Shine was perfect. The limo ride, the food, and especially the music made it such a fun night.”
“The limo ride and crown made me feel like a true queen. I can't wait to come back next year!”
“I felt like I had the whole world in my hands.”
