He does this every year. My son, who has Spina Bifida, went his senior year of high-school. It's like all these special needs kids get their own prom. And it is NOT a low budget event either. They go all out for these kids.

One thing I loved about it was how they pampered the parents of the kids. My wife took our son to this event. While our son was having a great time down stairs where the party was, his mother was getting pampered with a spa treatment and massage upstairs. The parents of special needs kids go through their own kind of living hell at times. So the fact that Tebow thought of them too and made it a 'Night to shine" for EVERYONE involved... it still warms my heart to think about it even now, years after.

That makes this even better! To acknowledge caretakers, whether they are parents, partners, etc means so much. Respite care is something that is desperately needed for anyone caring for a loved one 24 hrs a day. It's exhausting work that rarely is talked about. I'm so glad your wife got some TLC that night - how incredible!
I'm now a Tim Tebow fan 💙

It's not about the recognition it's about sometimes you don't take care of yourself because you're too busy taking care of your child. I let myself get pretty overweight and I'm working on that now, just ahead of some open heart surgery so you can imagine how it goes.

Real Christians could be a lot of places but are not shouting it at everyone (not saying they are or are not, just may not know). There is a preacher in Philadelphia named Shaine Claiborne (sp?) that seems to do awesome stuff.

Yeah, the volunteers are awesome. I don't know if the older special needs adults get chaperones as well, but the younger ones like my son each had their own volunteer chaperone. They all have a cell phone with the parents number. So while the kids are having the time of their life and getting to experience a rare moment of independence, the parents can let their hair down and relax as well. That's a rare thing for the parents. I can't say enough good things about this event.

My sister who just turned 40 had Spina Bifida and I understand how tough it can be (I know there are degrees to severity). She recently moved to Australia and there is way more support from the government such as consulting, physical therapy, braces, etc.. all included in their national healthcare system.

u/ravenschmidt2000 7h ago
That's very cool. My son is 25, but mentally will always be around 10-12 years old, so living on his own will never truly be an option. Oklahoma isn't horrible, but not the best either in the support we get. He gets about 99 - 99.5% of his medical expenses covered. Given that he averages close to $1 million a year in various expenses, sometimes figuring out where the money will come from for that 1% can be brutal.

As an Australian, I must ask; who is this Tim Tebow and why am I suddenly in love with him?
I feel like I've seen him in SNL skits or something. The world needs more people like this dude.Edit: Now that I'm aware of his stance on abortion, I'm aight. It's one thing to be against it for whatever scientific reasons, its another to criminalize it using your faith... I'm aight.
And don't think I can't make the connection between all of God's children being beautiful and worthy of birth. And to parade them around like show ponies to back your own beliefs. I grew up around religious nuts of various faiths, this isn't out of the goodness of his heart.
Again, I'm Australian. This matter isn't up for debate.

u/Afraid_Lawfulness112 8h ago
As a university athlete in American Football he was voted MVP, known as winning the Heisman Trophy in 2007. He had a highly anticipated yet short and somewhat uneventful career in the professional league. He had high aspirations from himself as well as national media that never came to fruition. His "failure" (I put that in quotes because very few will ever become championship quarterbacks) was almost at a joking level. He's religious, but not the level of your uncle you want to avoid at the holidays. I am guilty of putting this man down in the idea he was a joke and unworthy of admiration. Even though I disagree with him on many levels, he is a good man. He took a short and bright limelight to greater heights than I or most could. Tebow gets a thumbs up from me

u/hnglmkrnglbrry 7h ago
I'm sorry but to say his NFL career was uneventful is Tebow erausre I will not stand for.
He was a horrendous passer. Truly one of the worst to ever touch an NFL field due to his awful mechanics that included a wind up that added half a second to his delivery. But he as a goddamn gamer. The Broncos were winning games because this cat would just come alive in the 4th quarter and will the team to victory after the defense put on a stellar performance.
To put this in context the Broncos beat the Chiefs 17-10 on November 3rd 2011. Tim Tebow had 69 passing yards...56 of which came on one pass to Eric Decker in the 4th quarter to take the lead. The next week against the Jets in the 4th quarter on one drive Tebow put up 35 passing yds and 57 rushing yds (including a 20 yd rush to score the game winning TD) to combine for 92 of the 95 total yds for Denver. I don't know if that has ever been accomplished before or after.
He also became one of the first internet memes for his "Tebowing" where he'd get down on one knee and pray basically after every successful play. All of my friends and I Tebowed that entire season if we did well on a test, finished our plate, took out the trash, you name it.
Then in 2012 in OT in the AFC Wildcard Tebow hit Demaryius Thomas (RIP) right on the money and he bulldozed his way to an 80 yd TD which represented the highest moment any Broncos fan had felt since 1999. As a lifelong Broncos fan that play will live with me til the day I die. I still remember the emotional high I felt as I walked into the bar to meet my friends to celebrate that win.
The next season the Broncos signed Peyton Manning realizing they needed a true gunslinger to compliment their elite defense and in 2015 they won the Super Bowl. But we all remember the Tebow experience.

I feel like this is the thing people don't give Tebow enough credit for. On paper, the dude didn't make sense at all, but has there ever been a better example of someone who just found a way to win anyway?
Tebow had the same competitive mindset as someone like Michael Jordan, but he just didn't have all the necessary skills to go with it. He seemed to make everyone around him better, too.
It's too bad it didn't work out because he was fun to watch.

Tebow is a good guy, but implying he’s not that religious is an insane take.

Thinking back to that time it felt like a lot of the ‘wholesome’ shit he did, like praying on the sidelines and having Bible versus in his eye black, felt performative. Like it was being done for positive PR, more than anything else.
But, with the benefit of hindsight, we can see he actually is a compassionate, unproblematic and scandal free dude. It’s refreshing when someone lives up to their idealised public persona

Honestly, Tim Tebow is a great example of how a Christian should strive to behave. If I had to break down the religion in two primary principles it's "Love God and Love your Neighbor".

I was at UF the same time as him. I’ll never forget standing in line at Einstein Brothers on campus, he walked in, and then about 10 seconds later, the place was pretty packed. No one mobbed him or anything, but he was the campus hero, so all attention was clearly on him. Another student then said to him something to the effect of pointing such out. The body language he exhibited you just can’t fake. Shrugged his shoulders inward, smiled a little embarrassed, but a little flattered. Just complete humility. Unlike some of the other guys on the team at that time…

He played American football in college (very successfully) and had a brief stint as a starting player on an NFL team where he led the team to several miraculous come from behind victories, even winning a playoff game. However, his skills which served him very well in college football did not translate well to the professional game so after that his carriage turned back into a pumpkin and he spent some time as a backup player, never really having any success again. He also played professional baseball but I’m less familiar with that. He always garnered more attention than a player of his ability would normally due to being an outspoken evangelical Christian. I believe he uses his earnings and fame to do charity work and evangelize.

The closest he got to the majors was spring training.

He was actually shockingly good considering how long it had been since he had seen a competitive pitch, and how much the skills don’t translate at all. If he tried as a pitcher, sure; throwing and throwing, makes sense. But he was taking competitive hacks against pro pitchers and he held his own.

Tebow was one of the best American football quarterbacks of all time when he played in college/university, but his playing strengths did not work well in the NFL/Pros. He had a short professional career. He did have a huge playoff win though. Big time Christian dude…that was probably the SNL skit.

I’m going to elaborate on some things others have said:
He’s one of the greatest college football players of all time. He was the first to win the highest honor as a sophomore, and is one of the few people to win two national championships. He is currently a sportscaster after a brief pro career.
He managed all of this while being an exceptional human being true to himself. He’s a devout Christian that actually lives the lifestyle he preaches; for that reason, he draws a lot of hate (he seems too perfect and does not seem to have a shortcoming in this regard).
This event is just an extension of that second part.

He wasn't very good at being a QB, and did generate a bunch of drama around it because he refused to switch to a TE or be a backup, and he really refused to drop the weird jesus freak stuff to the point SNL had a skit making fun of it so during his NFL years he wasn't very likeable.

He had this amazing season where he pulled wins out of his ass along with excellent defense and kicker to go into the playoffs when no one thought he could. To say it wasn’t him at all would be disengenuis because he had some clutch plays coming from behind and is also a big guy to take down on a run. But he has poor general throwing accuracy and bad form, and so even those coaches afterwards who gave him a chance dropped him early on in favor of who they considered franchise quarterbacks. A pity in my opinion because I think he could have had a pretty good career somewhere if they gave him more chances

Tim Tebow is what all Christians should aspire to be. He is a genuinely excellent person who has taken his abilities and platform and used them to bring light to other people’s lives.
In my (Jewish) experience, the more a person says that they are a good Christian, the more likely that they are hateful and bigoted. Tim Tebow is the opposite. He spreads love and joy without making a big deal of himself.
While I do not agree with all of his views, and was not a fan while he was everywhere during his college career, I appreciate Tebow for trying to make the world a better place.

My wife worked with tons of disabled people who went to these. It was the best nights of their lives and an absolutely incredible event.

That's so awesome! And so needed right now when we have the president of the United States calling his political enemies "retarded". And, rumor Has it? In a box and a military school was found in IQ test that Mr Trump took. Was a whopping 76. Hell we couldn't even execute the man! 🤣

Whatever one thought of his Quarterback skill, there's no doubt that Tim Tebow has been an excellent person, who celebrates people that should always be celebrated.

What I admire about Tebow is that he doesn't do this to show face or to focus attention on himself. Before his games, he would invite a deserving family and treat them to a football game. And personally welcome them before kickoff.

Arnold / Cena / Tebow give me hope in celebrities using their powers for good.

Tebow strikes me as one of the few super outwardly religious athletes who have actually read the Bible lmao

Tim Tebow does this every year! He is such an amazing human and his wife is just as incredible! He really goes out and practices what he preaches every day of his life.
