Night to Shine is a celebration! Although, every event looks a little different and is extra special, some of the elements included are a red carpet entrance complete with a warm welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi, hair and makeup stations, shoe-shining stations, limousine rides, corsages and boutonnieres, a catered dinner, dancing, karaoke, gifts, a Respite Room for parents and caregivers, and, a crowning ceremony where every honored guest receives a crown or tiara.

Anyone with special needs ages 14 and older may attend as an Honored Guest.

We will provide a buddy for every Honored Guest to party with for the evening. Alternately, Honored Guests are allowed up to two accompanying ‘buddies’ of their choice. All buddies are background checked to provide the safest evening for all attendees.

There is no charge for Honored Guests and their buddies to attend the prom.

Honored Guests and their buddies will enjoy a red carpet arrival, dinner and dessert, dancing, karaoke and a variety of other entertainment options.

Opportunities will be offered to Honored Guests for hair and makeup design for free on the day of the prom. A Formal Attire Boutique Day will also be available for guests to try on and choose complimentary prom dresses and suits.

Parents and caregivers have the option to attend prom alongside the Honored Guests, or relax in a separate area on the Resonate campus set up especially for them to eat dinner, socialize and enjoy games and entertainment. This option is also free of charge.

At registration, all attendees are asked to share dietary restrictions or other medical needs. We will have dinner options available to accommodate all guests, as well as medical staff onsite should any care be required.
