They will receive a crown or tiara that is theirs to keep. Then the rest of the night is filled with dancing, fellowship, photo booths, shoeshine stations, makeup and hair touch up stations, donut walls.


    What if I get tired or music too loud?

    Our goal for Night to Shine is to make sure each one of our Kings and Queens has the best evening of their lives. Sometimes we need to just take a break from the music and dancing. We have a sensory room for our guests to come and visit. It will be a place where you can just sit and rest or do a puzzle with your buddy. When you fill rested you can go back into the party!

    What happens to my parents/caregivers?

    When you arrive at one of our locations Mom or Dad comes into the event with you and checks you in and meets your Buddy for the evening. Then your parents if they have decided to stay can join our respite room, or they will be back at 9pm to pick you up.

    What is the respite room?

    Night to Shine realizes that this event may be the only time parents can take a break from caregiving. We will have a room setup that will be just for parents to take a few hours and just relax if they want too. We will provide snacks, some locations will have dinner, depending on space. Most of all we want our parents/caregivers to feel loved and appreciated for all you do for your King or Queen!!
