Hello Neighbors, Friends and Sponsors!!
My Favorite Charity Events Organization will again be sponsoring our Annual Christmas for Kids Program this year for our kids at Cooke Elementary School. We are very excited about Christmas Day and what it means to those families who have kids who ordinarily do not have the means to celebrate the Season.
For four straight years, our community has chipped in and impacted so many of our neighborhood families, and we are hoping Santa’s compass is pointing to Sweet
Virginia Beach on Mediterranean Avenue once more.
(A Christmas Poem to Capture the spirit of the Season by Alberta)
Just Ain’t No Ordinary Christmas
The hustle and bustle of the Holiday season is about to
begin,
What a spectacular day for family and friends, loved ones
and kin.
This Christmas just ain’t no ordinary Christmas, you see….
Our minds are filled with hope, cheerfulness, and the care’s
this season will bring.
As snowflakes fall, sleigh bells ring, children laugh,
Church choirs sing.
This Christmas just ain’t no ordinary Christmas, you see….
Oh! that we could share just a little this year,
Some of God’s blessings, and some good cheer,
To make Christmas Day special to a child or two,
That Christmas may be extraordinary for children in need,
and for me and for you.
Help make every Christmas an extraordinary Christmas!
Give a Gift of Love at Christmastime!
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.
