A ‘Night to Shine’ has been lighting up Bakersfield for several years now. It’s a celebration that honors community members with special needs, giving them an unforgettable evening filled with joy, dignity, and lasting memories.
The ‘Night to Shine’ is an annual, worldwide prom experience sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation for individuals with special needs. Community members from the age of 14 and older can participate. This event is held the Friday before Valentine’s Day, and is hosted by local churches, and Crossroads Christian Fellowship has put on this event for the community.
