On Friday night we volunteered at #NightToShine through the Tim Tebow Foundation. Night to Shine is a prom event for people with special needs. We walked the red carpet, rode in limos, sang karaoke (Rocky Top of course!) and danced the night away with our new friends! ✨

This cannot be overshared. Though some people do have different preferences, it's best to err on the side of caution. (You can always ask someone how they would like to be addressed.) #respect #inclusion #belonging
