My Favorite Charity Events (MFCE) would like to thank the Virginia Beach Rotary Club for partnering with us as we support underserved families with children who attend Cooke Elementary School through our Christmas for Kids Program.
Working on our sixth year of serving children in our local community, we want to thank the Rotary Club and one of our MFCE’s Santa’s Helpers, Jessica Lin, who nominated us for this donation.
MFCE’s Christmas for Kids program is a grassroots program supported by our Santa’s Helper’s and local community in providing Christmas gifts for our kids.
We appreciate our Santa’s Helpers, and we are constantly looking for new donors as we continue to raise funds for the Christmas for Kids program for 2025.
MFCE is looking forward to helping families with students at Cooke Elementary enjoy a merry Christmas season by providing these students with the opportunity to experience a wonderful holiday season.
Thank you, Virginia Beach Rotary Club , for supporting MFCE and the community kids in this worthwhile effort.
Christmas for Kids (CFK) is a grassroots program, and we can’t thank our family, friends, and neighbors enough for being so generous year after year.
Without their support, CFK would not be the success it is today. We would also like to thank the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) District Council of Hampton Roads in Norfolk, ILA Local 1248, and Oceanfront Dentistry for their generous donations in support of the CHK’s program.
Our vision is to provide HOPE and RESOURCES to those in need by treating them with respect and dignity, placing focus on creative solutions, and bringing about ways of improving the livelihoods of family units—one family at a time.
Please consider a donation of $100.00 or any amount as a one time or on a recurring monthly basis.

Mr. Turner has worked as an educator for over a decade, first as a full-time Kaplan tutor before shifting into the public-school setting. Mr. Turner originally provided New York City public schools with SAT and ACT tutoring programs on behalf of Kaplan test prep. Since moving to Virginia Beach with his wife and daughter in 2015, Mr. Turner has taught, tutored, and coached students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. He has provided Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy to students with autism ranging in ages from 3-16. As a special education teacher with Norfolk Public Schools, he taught a group of 3rd and 4th grade students with Emotional Disabilities. Through the coordinated support of families, co-teachers, and supportive administration, his team of students (dubbed the “SuperDolphins”) achieved a collective SOL pass rate of over 80 percent. Mr. Turner currently works as a Special Education teacher at Green Run High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and believes strongly that relationship-building and play-based learning are the foundations of academic recovery and long-term success.
