DO YOU ENJOY YOUR MEXICO VACATIONS? ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING OTHERS?
Support the Eagle’s Wings Foundation “$20 for 20 years!” campaign.
Did you know that in Mexico:
- High school students must buy their own books and supplies; only 45% graduate
- 35% of the population lives below the poverty line
- The over 65 population is projected to grow 277% by 2050, with limited resources for geriatric programs and living facilities
- The health care system is underfunded for millions; approximately 45% of expenses are out of pocket, and long-term illness can be catastrophic for the lower and middle classes
Twenty years ago, Villa Group and Tafer Resort owners and executives Fernando Gonzalez, Luz Maria Torres, Owen Perry and Robert Kistner collaborated with key club members to establish Eagle’s Wings Foundation (EWF), an award-winning organization dedicated to the disadvantaged in the communities surrounding Villa Group and Tafer Resorts. Since inception, EWF has donated over four million dollars in cash, in-kind and matched donations. The Developers also match member donations, which enables EWF to receive further matched government funds, at times effectively tripling the amount of funds for the needy. That is why your donation is so important!
Show your support and give back to the communities that have given you years of wonderful memories by adding $20 to your maintenance fee payment.
Your Dollars Support These Programs and Many Others:
- Children – Orphanages, Special Education, Education Scholarships, School Bus Maintenance, Day Care Centers for Underprivileged Children, Training for Autistic Children
