Tim Tebow had the best Valentine’s Day, that’s for sure.

Rather than eat chocolate or buy flowers, he and the Tim Tebow Foundation sponsored 45 simultaneous “Night to Shine” proms in 28 states, as well as in Uganda and Kenya for more than 7,000 people with special needs.

And Tebow made a surprise appearance at a couple of the events.

The first was in Kernersville, N.C., with the second in Simpsonville, S.C. He posed for pictures and even walked some kids down the fancy red carpet. It was a magical night.

There wasn’t just one prom king or queen either. Everyone got crowns and tiaras.

“Words cannot adequately express the joy that I experienced during ‘Night to Shine,'” Tebow told PEOPLE. “If I think about 44 churches in 26 states and 3 countries, with more than 15,000 volunteers and 7,000 guests, it is very humbling and overwhelming.”
