Night to Shine is a complimentary event for people with special needs hosted by local churches around the world and is open to anyone living with disabilities ages 14 and older. Night to Shine events are held simultaneously around the world on the Friday before Valentine’s Day each year and require the help of thousands of volunteers across the globe. The mission of Night to Shine is to value, honor, and support honored guests and their families through a prom, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs held simultaneously around the world on the Friday before Valentine’s Day each year.
Animals Wrestling is for boys and girls in grades K–8th, and athletes are asked to come to practice with clean athletic shorts or sweatpants and wrestling shoes, with no jeans, snow pants, zippers, buttons, or jewelry allowed on the mats and no dirty shoes on the wrestling mats. For Girls Basketball, families who purchased a jersey for the 2023 season in Ontario, Vale, Nyssa, or Adrian and still have one that fits can reuse it, or they can purchase a new jersey during registration. Better Bones & Balance is a program for seniors who are interested in improving their overall health, and classes are designed to gradually improve balance and strength to avoid falls and maintain independence, with participants expected to be mobile without a walker.
