The original "Noble Deed" that was performed by The Noblemen (known as the "Robin Hoods of Virginia Beach" at the time) was our Trolley Ride. The Noblemen raised $5000 in 1995 and after reading a newspaper article our founder and CEO, Al Midgett decided to use that money to provide Christmas to local families who had a child in hospice care through Edmarc Hospice for Children. The Trolley Ride is now our longest running annual event and we continue to spread holiday joy to families who have a child who is facing their last Christmas. It is a wonderful evening that is filled with a lot of different emotions. The families that we visit are always touched by the fact that there is a big group of people who just want to come to their home and share some love with their family during difficult times. It is us who receive the greatest gift of all though. All of our lives are changed as a result of this wonderful evening. Check out come pictures below.
