More exciting news from My Favorite Charity Events Organization!! We are proud to announce that we have added two teachers to our Team, and they will be running our summer tutoring program and act as advisors to our school year tutoring program. Cindy B. and Bryson T. are currently working in the Virginia Beach and Norfolk school systems and bring a wealth of teaching experience and a great “game plan” for the summer tutoring. We will work with Cooke Elementary to evaluate the results of our tutoring program to gauge the level of improvement in the students’ math skills.
We are also working with the local library to put books in the hands of those who might not have access to the library, or library card. Another initiative is getting the kids to the library to participate in the many exciting programs conducted by the library during summer break.
Continuing to let kids be kids and experience the summer in fun and exciting ways, inspires us to do more to make every kid a superstar at school, but this takes money! We would like to encourage you to donate to our charity and help us continue to expand our programs. Your donation goes 100% to our programs. As a small charity, we do not have the overhead costs of larger charities, so be assured that the dollars you entrust with us will be used wisely.
We are proud to announce that My Favorite Charity Events has achieved the Candid (Guidestar) Platinum Transparency Seal for providing pertinent data about our organization that can be found at
