Birthday Bash 2020: PERFECT VISION

Dear Friends,

Thank you for joining us this evening as we celebrate our 2020 PERFECT VISION Birthday Bash. Although we had hoped to be celebrating this year’s Birthday Bash at Lucien’s Manor– your health and safety is our first priority and we thank you participating in this year’s event from home.

Your support tonight, as well as over the years, helps fill the time teens spend during their hospitalization. With your help, the Alicia Rose Victorious Foundation provides Victorious 4 Teens Programs that significantly change the quality of life for these teens and their families. Our Teen Lounges, Teen Kits, Teen Proms, and Alicia’s Art Cart gives teens more than just medicine to thrive.

After 18 years, we give special thanks to Alicia, who leaves her mark on thousands of teens like her and continues to be the inspiration behind everything we do. We know Alicia is looking down and saying…

“Thank you all for being Victorious 4 Teens.”

Sincerely,

Mario, Gisele, Sebastian, &Gabriel

Kimberly Dickstein Hughes

2019-2020 NJ State Teacher of the Year

Throughout the many challenges we faced this year, New Jersey State Teacher of the Year, Kimberly Dickstein Hughes, showcased the level of excellence New Jersey educators possess and represented the profession with grace, class, and style.

From an early age, Kimberly has been a change-maker. She has been volunteering with the Alicia Rose Victorious Foundation since she herself was a teen, and now Kimberly serves on the organization's foundation, community advisory board and advises the Youth Leadership Council. She has been nominated for the L'Oréal Woman of Worth Award program, to name a few.

As the New Jersey State Teacher of the Year, she was in the third month of her sabbatical working at the New Jersey Department of Education when the pandemic forced educators and students to transition to remote learning. She knew that not every student would have access to reliable internet, but that most students would have access to public television. Tapping into her diverse network of teachers across the state, she asked them to video themselves teaching a 55-minute lesson. With the enthusiastic support of NJEA and NJTV, NJTV Learning Live was born, with those supplemental lessons available for students to watch on public television.

Even before the crisis, Kimberly displayed this kind of leadership, innovation, and expertise in education to benefit her students, her colleagues, and our state. She is a dynamic, passionate, committed, tireless, and creative educator. She is a treasure, not just in the joyful way she has of working with students, but also in how she encourages and inspires her colleagues to strive for more. She is an educator who exhibits and reflects the best of the profession.

REGISTRATION OPEN NOW

'Tis the season for embracing the spirit of giving! This December, lace-up your sneakers and don your favorite winter hat to join over 300 runners & walkers for the ARVF Candy Cane Dash. Spread good cheer while you celebrate our 12th annual Victorious 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk that benefits teens battling cancer & other life-threatening illnesses.

Long-sleeve T-shirts guaranteed to all preregistered runners and walkers. Race day includes specialty candy canes, refreshments, entertainment, and much more!

Teens with cancer struggle with many unique concerns including isolation, body image changes, infertility and an interruption of school and social life. Difficult or unexpected experiences, such as chronic illness and hospitalization are particularly difficult.

Beginning on Martin Luther King Day of Service, volunteers locally, and throughout the country, show their support by having Bandana Days, Teen Kit Drives, School assemblies, Dine and Donate Nights, Facebook Fundraiser Campaigns, and many other fundraising/awareness type events

“In the middle of a busy pediatric clinic that often feel ‘too young’ and ‘too boring’ for adolescents, the ability to offer art activities that are unique to each teen helps meet their developmental needs, and, in turn, makes them feel safe, accepted, and valued as a unique person.”
