What to expect when you walk into Shine & Dine

Shine & Dine is more than an evening of dancing and celebration — it’s the moment our students are reminded that they belong. Each of our students carries a story waiting to be heard, a dream waiting to be believed in. Sometimes, all it takes is an open seat at the table — and someone who says, You belong here.
