✨ Night to Shine recap, 2024 impact & an invitation

This year’s Night to Shine was nothing short of magical! Hosted by Eternal Anchor and sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation, the event welcomed 278 guests from our community to Rancho Ancla Eterna. This heartwarming celebration truly lived up to its name, shining a light on the dignity and worth of every individual in attendance.

Night to Shine is more than just a special event—it is an expression of our mission to foster inclusion, belonging, and opportunity for children, teens, and adults with disabilities. It is an event where participants, their families, and the community come together to experience love, respect, and joy. In a world where individuals with disabilities often face exclusion or misunderstandings, Night to Shine stands as a reminder that every person is loved and valued.

The day was filled with laughter, music, and excitement as our honored guests were crowned the kings and queens that they are. Everyone had the chance to enjoy a time of dancing, delicious food, and incredible fellowship. Dozens of community volunteers poured their time and energy into making sure every detail was perfect, from creating a glamorous atmosphere to making each participant feel like a star.

We are deeply grateful for the partnership of our local sponsors and volunteers, and to our network of global supporters who help make Night to Shine possible. Together, we’ve created memories that will last a lifetime and continue to inspire us in our mission to uplift the lives of those with disabilities in our community. We can’t wait to see what next year brings!
