2026 Strategic Goals
My Favorite Charity Events (MFCE) looks to 2026 as a year of positive growth and continuing our local civic-minded charity that has developed its strategic goals to meet our mission to provide hope and seek out resources to improving the livelihoods of family units—one family at a time. Incremental growth is important to MFCE, as we work to define the charity and build a network of like-minded organizations to support our mission. Below are the MFCE’s 2026 strategic goals.
- MFCE will increase the number of families receiving presents through our Christmas for Kids Program by 30 percent.
- MFCE will increase the number of Santa’s helpers by 20 percent.
- MFCE will work with local youth groups to help students reach their community service goals through volunteer work supporting the Christmas for Kids Program.
The above strategic goals are adopted by My Favorite Charity Events and status to meet the goals will be reviewed annually and adjustments will be made as required to successfully meet the goals.

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.
