Do guests need chaperones?
Guests may be dropped off by a parent or caregiver. Each Parent or caregiver will use their judgment whether to stay with the guest, enjoy a night out or stay upstairs in the respite area where you can enjoy a relaxing evening watching the Night To Shine, having a catered dinner, and being pampered. We strongly encourage chaperones to drop off their guest and allow us to assign a buddy/escort for the evening, unless you believe it's essential to accompany your guest into the prom. If you are planning on staying with your guest you will need to register as a volunteer buddy for the event. 

What activities can be expected at Night to Shine?
Guests will be assigned to their buddy to help them have the best prom experience ever! Each guest will be treated to a catered dinner, walk a red carpet being cheered on by paparazzi, be crowned king or queen of the prom, hair and makeup touch-ups, shoeshines, karaoke, games, karaoke, a quiet room for anyone needing a break and of course dancing!! We will have security and medical personnel onsite throughout the event.

Most guests will dress in formalwear. However, guests are invited to wear what they are comfortable dancing the night away in - renting formal wear is not necessary.
