Sunshine Suzy

02/11/2025

Suzy and her date, Triston, had a wonderful time at the Tim Tebow Foundation’s 10th Annual Night to Shine event this past Friday! They walked the red carpet, were cheered on by a crowd, and even enjoyed a short limo ride!

The Tim Tebow Foundation created Night to Shine to celebrate people with special needs and give them dignity.

Everyone at Night to Shine is crowned as a King or Queen because it symbolizes the core idea of the event: to make each person with special needs feel like royalty, valued, and loved by God, signifying that they are seen as precious and important just as they are.

The event has taken place in over 1,000 cities and 56 countries, impacting more than 555,000 guests. Suzy and Triston attended the event at CrossWinds Church - Spirit Lake, Iowa.

A huge thank you to the many volunteers and the Foundation for organizing such a wonderful evening!

Did you know Sunshine Suzy has been a professional speaker for 13 years?!

Suzy is a true professional and has been traveling across the the country giving keynote presentations at conferences and events. Just last year she spoke at the University of Houston, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, a Self-Determination Conference in Michigan, a National Education Conference in Omaha, and most recently was the featured speaker at Greystone Construction Company's annual celebration at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel.

In her presentation, Suzy tells her story of self-determination. She offers career advice, talks about her employment and incredible colleagues at the Fairmont Hampton Inn as an award-winning Breakfast Hostess, describes her journey building Sunshine Suzy, places great importance on community support, explains the impact she has made by sharing her many talents and abilities, and then challenges the audience to think differently and believe in themselves like never before. It's a very moving and motivating message.

If you're looking for an inspiring speaker for your organization, just give us a shout!

"Being a farm family, we take a little seed, plant it, help nourish it, and watch it grow into a bountiful harvest. It's the same how our family and the Hampton Inn (a TPI Hospitality property) treated Suzy with support and nourishment. She's just blossomed into a beautiful young lady." Quote from Diane Sukalski, Suzy's Amazing Mom

Thank you to the incredible TPI Hospitality team for believing in and nurturing Suzy's talents!
