What to Expect

Night to Shine will be held on Friday, February 8, 2019 from 6:00-9:00pm. Volunteers should expect to be at the event from 5:00-10:00pm. Per the Tim Tebow Foundation, all volunteers are required to attend one of two trainings (displayed below) and submit to a background check (for those 18 and older).

Red Carpet Team
The Red Carpet team is open to all ages. At the beginning of the night, this team will act as the "paparazzi," welcoming guests and making them feel like kings and queens as they arrive for the Night to Shine. This is the perfect place for whole families to serve together. For the safety of our honored guests, buddies, and volunteers, red carpet volunteers will not enter into the dance once the Red Carpet is shut down unless a volunteer has been approved to do so.

Space is still available on the Red Carpet Team - sign up below.
