HEADLAND, Ala. (WDNews) — Headland Methodist Church has been selected to host the 2026 Night to Shine celebration, a worldwide prom-style event honoring people with special needs. The event is sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation.
Church officials announced the event will take place Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, at the church’s campus at 103 W. King St. in HEADLAND. Night to Shine is held annually on the Friday before Valentine’s Day and brings together churches across the globe for a simultaneous celebration.
Night to Shine is designed to provide an unforgettable evening centered on honoring people with disabilities. Events typically include a red carpet entrance, formal attire, hair and makeup stations, limousine rides, dinner, dancing and a crowning ceremony where every guest is recognized as a king or queen.
According to organizers, Headland Methodist Church is one of hundreds of host churches worldwide participating in the 2026 event. The celebration is built around inclusion, community support and recognizing the value of individuals with special needs.
The Tim Tebow Foundation provides host churches with planning resources, training support, access to grants and ongoing disability ministry tools to help ensure each event is accessible and meaningful for guests and their families.
Night to Shine has grown significantly since its launch more than a decade ago. Organizers say the program has served more than half a million honored guests and involved more than one million volunteers worldwide.
Registration for the Headland event is expected to open through the church’s website. Additional details about volunteer opportunities and guest registration will be released closer to the event date.
