Tim Tebow is Organizing More Than 200 Proms for People with Special Needs

By Published on January 15, 2016

Tim Tebow is trying to redefine Valentine’s Day. Last year, the former NFL quarterback — and current SEC Network analyst — created a special prom night for thousands of people with disabilities. During Valentine’s Day weekend of 2015, the Tim Tebow Foundation sponsored 44 simultaneous prom events in 26 states, as well as two locations in Uganda and Kenya.

Tebow got into the act, flying to two locations and surprising the participants by taking photos with them and shining their shoes.
