Tacachale Shines

Not even COVID-19 could stop 48 enthusiastic Tacachale residents from getting all spruced up and celebrating the Tim Tebow Foundation’s Night to Shine. This annual event for individuals with disabilities is held around the world – this year, with a local “Shine-Thru,” an innovative way to celebrate while maintaining distance. Vehicles lined up to drive the red carpet with participants being cheered along the way by University of Florida athletes, a drumline, cheerleaders, and many others who handed out goody bags, T-shirts, and hot chocolate. Each participant’s name was announced as they were individually recognized and awarded a glittering crown or tiara, crowning them kings and queens of this splendid event.
