2025 Night to Shine

BOURBONNAIS — GatheringPoint Church will serve as a host of the 2025 Night to Shine, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation.

The worldwide celebration event, centered on God’s love, honoring and valuing people with special needs will be held by host churches around the world simultaneously on Feb. 7.

The event is from 6-9 p.m., Feb. 7.

GatheringPoint is at 897 W. Bourbonnais Parkway, Bourbonnais.

GatheringPoint will join hundreds of other churches around the world in celebrating people with disabilities as God’s image bearers. Night to Shine is hosted every year by churches on the Friday before Valentine’s Day.

Each event is unique to its location, but some cornerstone activities included across all of them are a red carpet entrance complete with a welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi, hair and makeup stations, shoeshines, limousine rides, karaoke, gifts, a catered dinner, a sensory room, a respite room for parents and caregivers, dancing, and a crowning ceremony where every guest is honored as a king and queen.

Over the past 10 years, Night to Shine has provided more than a half million guest experiences and more than a million volunteer experiences.
