INDIANAPOLIS -- There will be a lot of love in the air for Valentine's Day.

But there was magic in the air in Greenwood Friday night. It was a night that dozens of teens will never forget.

The "Night to Shine" was one of 200 that will take place around the world.

It gives teens with special needs their own prom complete with red carpet, paparazzi and plenty of dancing.

Tim Tebow's Foundation launched the project last year and it's grown here in central Indiana.

Every person at the event said it's an amazing idea.

"We want to let them know, no matter who you are or what you are in the life that you are living currently at the moment you are loved, you are treasured you are adored," siad Johnette Cruz, Communications Director, "Night to Shine."

48 states will participate in the "Night to Shine" by Sunday along with churches in seven other countries.
