Night to Shine

Night to Shine is a complimentary event for people with special needs hosted by the E-Free Church at our Gaylord and Alpena Campuses. The event is open to anyone living with disabilities, ages 14 and older. Join us for this exciting night that includes activities like a red carpet entrance complete with a warm 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 or a Queen - the way God sees them each and every day.

To attend Night to Shine as an honored guest, you will need to register online. Please click the link below to register for either our Gaylord Campus or our Alpena Campus events. Then get ready for an exciting night!

Night to Shine requires the help of thousands of volunteers across the globe and is a wonderful way to connect with and serve your community of people with special needs! From serving as a guest's buddy or member of the red carpet paparazzi, to keeping the enthusiasm up on the dance floor or serving food, there is something for everyone.

It is our hope that NIGHT TO SHINE will become an event that rally's our Gaylord community in support of our honored guests, those with special needs ages 14-100. We are expecting over 300 honored guests at this year's event. Would you consider volunteering your time, donating goods or services, or becoming an official partner for Northern Michigan's NIGHT TO SHINE? Registration for volunteering and sponsorship is now open.
