Tim Tebow Foundation Night to Shine. 

Sam’s chaperone Hank asked me what this night meant to us. I was so stunned that this this young man asked such an insightful question that I couldn’t even answer. 

#NTS means that for one night, Samantha gets to not only go to prom, she is included in the entire event. You see, in a typical prom, we would be hoping for this. It is often a night that she might go to, but could be largely ignored. The kids would say hi and hug her but that is sometimes the end of it. At NTS, the purpose is inclusion. Inclusion is the ONLY mission. 

Every king or queen there was celebrated in a way that was comfortable for them. Can you imagine the joy? We knew that this night, Sam would feel special and treated like a Queen 👸. Hank, you told me you were new to all of this. To me, you seemed like a pro. ❤️

It truly is A Night To Shine. 💖
