Norfolk/Virginia Beach, VA
Though a smaller entity within the national organization, the Virginia Beach/Norfolk region has always been an important part of the foundation's history. Founding member and past President, Brendan Curley, first helped a young child named Justin that he met through his time here in professional hockey. Justin needed a wheelchair and Brendan used his network of sports, events, and media to raise funds and meet this need for Justin and his family. The event sparked the Betterment ripple effect which eventually spread to new events and chapters throughout the country! Today, the Norfolk/Virginia Beach chapter raises funds through two major events in the Hampton Roads area: The Virginia Children's Festival and the Town Point Virginia Wine Festival.

Meet our recipient, Brock Peterson:
Brock Peterson is one of the most compassionate, caring and hardworking people you will ever meet. On July 3rd, 2021, Brock and his fiancé Carrie were enjoying a day on the water with friends when Brock sustained a spinal cord injury in a diving accident. He was rushed to Virginia Beach General Hospital and surgery was performed to stabilize his fractured C5 vertebrae and start the path to recovery. Brock was then transferred to the Shepherd’s Center in-patient hospital facility in Atlanta, GA where he is working towards coming back home to Virginia Beach in the coming months. Brock’s grit and determination are unmatched, and he will work as hard as possible to recover so we are coming together to show our support and provide him and Carrie with the needed funds to help transition him back home.
