Tomoka Christian Church in Ormond Beach joined churches around the world Friday, Feb. 13, in hosting the 2026 Night to Shine, a global celebration honoring people with special needs and sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation.
Held annually on the Friday before Valentine’s Day, Night to Shine is designed to recognize and celebrate individuals with disabilities as valued and honored members of their communities. This year’s event at Tomoka Christian Church drew more than 600 volunteers and more than 600 guests, including 480 VIPs, along with approximately 800 parents and caregivers who attended to support their loved ones.
The evening began with a red-carpet entrance, where guests were greeted by cheering volunteers and photographers. Inside, attendees enjoyed a full prom-style experience complete with hair and makeup stations, shoeshines, limousine rides, karaoke, dancing and a catered dinner. The church also provided a Sensory Room for guests who needed a quieter space and a Respite Room offering rest and refreshments for parents and caregivers.
The celebration concluded with a ceremony in which every honored guest was crowned king or queen.
As the event sponsor, the Tim Tebow Foundation provides host churches with planning resources, staff guidance, access to financial grants and other support to help create a memorable experience. Churches also gain access to Shine On, the foundation’s faith-based disability ministry.
Over the past 11 years, Night to Shine has reached more than half a million honored guests worldwide, supported by more than 1 million volunteers through participating churches.
