Eagle Wings Anniversary

Eagle Wings Foundation Celebrates its 10th Anniversary of Philanthropy and Community Service to the Citizens of Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta

The Villa Groups Eagle Wings Foundation is recognized for its leadership in helping a variety of educational, health and personal development programs with its nomination of the prestigious ARDA Circle of Excellence "ACE" Award.

The Villa Group announced that its Eagle Wings Foundation (EWF) will celebrate its 10th year of philanthropic and community service activities with a special celebration and annual meeting at the Villa del Palmar Flamingos Beach Resort & Spa, October 23, 2009 in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

As part of the annual meeting, time share owners and employees of the Villa Group will have the opportunity to review and learn more about the many ongoing community and special assistance programs currently being sponsored by the Eagle Wings Foundation. A highlight of those programs, all of which assist the areas where the Villas Group resorts are located, include: the creation of public libraries, elderly assistance, educational scholarships, rehabilitation centers, domestic violence shelters, thrift stores, medical assistance and working with orphanages to find homes for children.

The Eagle Wings Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides assistance to charitable groups in the resort areas of Puerto Vallarta, Nayarit and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Since 1999, it has given more than $1 million (U.S.) in grants and materials such as medical supplies and computers, while maintaining an overhead expense rate of less than two percent.

Last year the Eagle Wings Foundation gave $126,000 to over 20 organizations in Mexico. This year, the organization plans to match 2008's contributions and assisted in opening an additional orphanage in Puerto Vallarta in February 2009 that provides a home to more than 30 children.

"We are very proud of the continued generosity of our time share owners and their willingness to help those less fortunate who live in the communities where our resorts are located," said Owen Perry, an owner and partner in The Villa Group. "We have been able to make a meaningful contribution and a real difference in the lives of so many Mexican citizens," continued Perry.

The Eagles Wings Foundation is the vision of Jim McCarthy, long-time Villa Group timeshare owner. The foundation continues today with the support of the many Villa Group owners and employees that give back to the "paradise" they have come to love. "You do not have to travel very far from any one of our properties to witness the extreme poverty and dire living conditions of our neighboring needy families," said Jim McCarthy. "Our community service and contributions to date have made a real difference in the lives of so many families."
