BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
After one of the biggest nights of the year for our special needs community got canceled, neighbors across Tallahassee are putting in the work to make sure these adults still get their night to shine. I’m Kenya Cardonne, your Southeast Tallahassee neighborhood reporter. Here’s a look at what the annual prom event means to thousands of neighbors, and how people are rallying together to still make it happen.
“What does Night to Shine mean to you?”
Catina Young, Independence Landing Resident – “Everything! I got friends and you get out and party and socialize with all your old friends who you’ve known for ages and stuff like that.”
Night to Shine Tallahassee is an annual prom event put on by the Tim Tebow Foundation in partnership with local organizations nationwide. For the past ten years, it has been a much-anticipated event for our special needs community with a night of music, food, animals and friends.
