"Some young adults will participate in a night in February they won't soon forget.They're going to prom -- a high school tradition many of them missed.Former University of Florida football player Tim Tebow is behind the event, and local organizers hope to get some help from the community.Katie Nunez and her mother, Gloria Harmon, are looking for the perfect dress.\"I'm looking for a pink-ribbon dress, because pink is my favorite color,\" Katie said.Katie is getting ready for her first prom. It's for people with special needs.\"I never had the chance to go to the first prom,\" Katie said.\"This is their prom. This is it. It's like being back in high school,\" Harmon said.The Night to Shine Prom will be held Feb. 12 at the United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches. Volunteers have set up a shop of sorts of donated dresses and suits for the guests to choose from.Organizers have collected accessories to go with the formal wear, but they're still in need of donations, including plus-sized dresses and men's suits.More than 40 other churches across the country will also host a prom on the same night. It's all made possible by the Tim Tebow Foundation.\"I know our guests are going to be blessed. They are going to be treated like royalty, and they will know God's love, but the volunteers will be blessed, as well,\" the Rev. Phyllis Parthemer of Through the Roof Ministry said.The Night to Shine Prom guests will get the red-carpet treatment with hair and makeup, flowers, a karaoke room and dancing. Unlike traditional proms where there is just one king and queen, every guest will be crowned at the event.\"I'm just so excited. I can't wait until it gets here,\" Katie said.Donated dresses and suits can be dropped off at the church on Monday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Volunteers and monetary donations are also needed."
