Pay It Forward

Charities can only accomplish their stated goals if people believe in and donate to support those goals.

For My Favorite Charity Events Organization, we consider our goal to provide tutoring support for Elementary School students as individually important, and a significant milestone to future achievements.

By donating to our charity, it’s like paying it forward to help young children grow into contributing citizens in our community, and the world. 

Our near-term goal provides tutoring support for the month between when Summer School ends and the 2023/2024 school year begins. Long-term goals include after-school tutoring throughout the school year to ensure children get that extra personalized instruction they need and that is difficult for their teacher to provide.

We formed relationships with local schools to understand the needs of children and then build our individualized tutoring program to meet the needs of one student at a time. Your donations will help each child to realize the possibilities the future holds for them, and not be burdened by the frustrations of feeling left behind as they struggle with their studies.

Please help us to level the educational playing field for these children by donating to My Favorite Charity Events Organization.  Let’s teach all children to be shining lights in the community!
