Who Are We?
Night to Shine Southwest FL, Inc. exists to expand the experience and support of those with a special need or disability in Lee, Collier, and Hendry counties. Our vision is that each person with a special need or disability in southwest Florida will have the experiences, spiritual guidance, and support they need to allow them to live full and dignified lives.
Night to Shine Southwest FL, Inc is a nonprofit organization, officially established in 2023 after the leaders of the Naples Night to Shine prom recognized unfulfilled needs in the southwest Florida special needs community. We serve our beloved community in three distinct ways:
Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God's love, for people with special needs ages 14 and older.
​
Night to Shine is a worldwide movement, led by churches, that shares the love of Jesus and celebrates the worth and value of people with special needs.
​
The Tim Tebow Foundation provides support and resources that enable the church to host a prom reaching people in their community with special needs.
​
On one night, always the Friday before Valentine’s Day, we invite your church to join us and hundreds of other churches to eternally impact individuals living with disability.
​
Shine On, a ministry of the Tim Tebow Foundation, is a faith-based community—a source of inspiration, belonging, and education for everyone impacted by disability. Shine On envisions a global community of churches and families that foster belonging and purpose for all.
​
After the success and explosive growth of Night to Shine, families and church leaders expressed the deep need for community and celebration beyond one amazing night a year. Following much prayer and relationship-building with world-class organizations, in 2018 Shine On was created. Since then, we have also seen a great need to meet these families where they are, and to offer a way to bridge the gap of support.
See a need, fill a need. This is what we seek to do!
​
Night to Shine Southwest FL, Inc has a desire to identify and meet the needs of anyone in our SWFL special needs community.
​
If someone needs a new wheelchair, access to an accessible van, a plane ticket for an out-of-state surgery, it's our mission to help fill that need in any way we can!
​
Stay tuned for ways you can help fulfill these needs, or how to contact us if you are in need of support.
