Living Local with Frisbee Real Estate | Night to Shine Hendersonville NC 2026 with Madison Owenby
In this heartfelt and community focused episode of Living Local with Frisbee Real Estate, host Ed Frisbee sits down with special guest Madison Owenby, local Realtor and one of the lead organizers behind Night to Shine Hendersonville, North Carolina, happening February 13, 2026.
Madison shares the powerful mission of Night to Shine, a global event sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation that provides a prom night experience for individuals ages 14 and up with special needs. For the first time ever, Hendersonville will host this unforgettable evening at Crosswalk Ministries at First Baptist Church in downtown Hendersonville. Every guest is celebrated like royalty with formal attire, crowns, a red carpet entrance, dancing, food, and an atmosphere built entirely around dignity, joy, and belonging.
This episode dives into why bringing Night to Shine to Hendersonville matters. After learning that nearby events had to turn away dozens of participants due to capacity, Madison and a group of passionate local leaders stepped up so no one would be turned away. The goal for 2026 is to serve 150 honored guests, which means the event also needs 300 to 400 volunteers, including one on one buddies, makeup and shoeshine teams, food service, and caregiver respite support.
Madison also shares her personal connection to the special needs community through her daughter’s medical journey and how that experience ignited a deeper passion for advocacy, inclusion, and awareness across Western North Carolina.
Beyond Night to Shine, Ed and Madison talk all things Hendersonville life and real estate. From why young families are choosing to move to the area, to favorite downtown restaurants, events like the Apple Festival and Christmas parade, and what the local housing market looks like heading into the future, this conversation captures what it truly means to live local.
