What do I wear?
Many of our honored guests choose to wear semi-formal or formal attire if they have access to it. Gowns or dresses for the ladies and suits, tuxes, or shirt/vest/tie for gentlemen are most common. Through the generosity of individuals and local businesses, we are glad to offer some assistance with tuxedo rentals and dresses. More details will be provided about when and where you can go to shop for your Night to Shine outfit soon!

Can I request a friend or family member as a Buddy?
Yes. They must attend our volunteer orientation and complete the background check process like all other volunteers. We will do our best to accommodate your request but can't make any guarantees.

What kind of care is available for guests?
In addition to uniformed EMT, safety, law enforcement presence, each Night to Shine location will offer a Sensory Room where guests can go if they become overstimulated. The Sensory Room will provide a quieter environment staffed by volunteers who will be on hand to encourage guests to participate in sensory-friendly activities and offer comfort as needed. Parents and Caregivers will also be close by in the Respite Room should they be needed for any reason.
