In Abilene, Night to Shine will be hosted through Beltway Park Church on Friday, February 9th.

A special room at a Night to Shine event will typically be for caregivers and guardians of the prom guests. This room may have anything ranging from gifts to massages in order to enhance relaxation while guests are enjoying themselves at the dance.
