My Favorite Charity Events (MFCE) wishes each of you a Happy, restful, and safe Thanksgiving.
We celebrate Thanksgiving as a day of thanks commemorating a harvest festival and the past year’s blessings celebrated by the Pilgrims and Native Americans in 1621.
As family and friends gather, we are reminded of the love and devotion we share and the goodness in the world. We should also remember those that are less fortunate and plan to provide some help where we can in the coming days and year.
Giving Tuesday this year is 28 November 2023 what better way to begin helping others than by donating to My Favorite Charity Events Christmas for Kids or free math tutoring programs. You will be supporting two programs whose main goal is to improve the lives of elementary school children. All children should have a Merry Christmas and access to educational activities to help them become super star students.
Please donate to MFCE securely, it will make you feel gratitude for your family and make memories for the children who benefit from your generosity.
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

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.

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.
