HOW THE COMMUNITY CAN HELP
1. DONATE/BE AN EVENT SPONSOR
To make this wonderful community event a success, we need financial support. Our guests do not pay for anything! Night to Shine is a Tim Tebow Foundation event and is hosted by FPC, however the event is fully funded by our community donors and individuals.
All donations are appreciated. We do have major sponsorship opportunities available. If you would like to learn more, please contact Elizabeth Patton at 813-720-4961.
2. SIGN UP TO BE A BUDDY
A Buddy is a friend who spends the evening with an honored guest, providing companionship and assistance needed during the event. You must be 18 years or older to be a Buddy. We need approximately 225 Buddies each year.
Buddies are required to have a current cleared background check and attend ONE volunteer training session. Volunteer training sessions will be offered Sunday, January 31 from 1:30-3:30pm OR Sunday, February 7 from 1:30-3:30pm.
