About Night to Shine
New Location, Same Great Experience
We’re moving our event to the fabulous, brand-new building of Blue Oaks Church, right beside the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It’s fully ADA-compliant, making sure everyone can join in the fun easily and comfortably. Imagine celebrating in a state-of-the-art venue that’s all about inclusivity and innovation. Get ready for an unforgettable experience at Blue Oaks Church!
Volunteers are Essential for Success
This event is memorable for our Guests for many reasons, and the Buddy is one of the most important. We need an age-appropriate Buddy for every Guest, so please consider being a Buddy.
What is a Buddy?
The role of the Buddy is to help each Guest enjoy all the event has to offer in whatever way the Guest wants. Some Guests wish to spend all their time on the dance floor. Others prefer the quiet room or karaoke room. Everyone takes time to enjoy dinner and desserts.
Guests range in age from 14 to 80, so we pair Buddies with age-appropriate Guests. Guests also vary in complexity of special needs, so we ask Guests about their level of need, and we ask Buddies about their level of comfort with different levels of need. We want Night to Shine to be fun and memorable for the Buddies and our honored Guests.
