On Friday, February 12, 2027, Chick-fil-A Wendell Falls has partnered with, Hephzibah Baptist Church, and other partners across Eastern Wake County to host an unforgettable evening: the Tim Tebow Foundation’s Night to Shine.
Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience for people with special needs, ages 14 and older. Every guest receives royal treatment—from a red-carpet entry lined with cheering paparazzi to hair and makeup stations, limousine rides, dancing, and a crowning ceremony where every single guest is crowned a King or Queen of the prom. Additionally, their parents and caregivers are treated to a complimentary, relaxing Respite Event featuring a plated dinner and entertainment.
To host this night completely free of charge for our honored guests and their families, we need our local business community to stand with us.
Our target goal for Night to Shine 2027 is at least $40,000, alongside mobilizing 400 dedicated volunteers (ages 18+). We would be honored to invite GSK to join us as an official community partner in one or more of the following ways:
1. Financial Sponsorship
All financial contributions are 100% tax-deductible. Sponsors receive public recognition across our social media platforms, event banners, and printed programs:
-
Royal Sponsor ($5,000+): Underwrites the primary venue transformation and main meal catering. Company logo on all social media and print materials.
-
King & Queen Sponsor ($2,500): Covers the crowns, tiaras, red carpet experience, and gift bags for all guests.
-
Buddy Sponsor ($1,000): Provides floral corsages, boutonnieres, and personal favors for our honored guests.
-
Community Partner ($250-$500): Supports sensory space quiet rooms, games, and essential volunteer supplies.
2. In-Kind Donations & Professional Services
We welcome local business contributions of supplies or services, including:
-
Formal Wear & Decor: Suits, ties, dresses, crowns, tiaras, corsages, boutonnieres, and balloon/floral decorations.
-
Catering & Refreshments: Meal service for volunteers, honored guest food, snacks, and beverages.
-
Event Services: DJ services, photography, videography, photo booths, and limousine transportation.
3. Volunteer & Employee Engagement
Consider organizing a volunteer team from [Business Name]! We need 400 heart-led volunteers (ages 18+) to serve as Guest Buddies, Red Carpet Paparazzi, Pampering Team stylists, Catering Hosts, and Safety/Sensory Team members. Participating as a team is a powerful team-building opportunity that directly impacts our local families.
How to Get Started
Building a strong community starts with lifting up those who need it most. When GSK supports Night to Shine, you are doing far more than sponsoring an event—you are telling individuals with special needs and their hardworking families that their community sees them, values them, and celebrates them.
