ResortCom International’s Philanthropic Partner Eagle’s Wings Foundation Wins Coveted ACE Community Service and Philanthropy Industry Partner Award at 2024 ARDA Awards
ResortCom International is proud to announce that its philanthropic partner, Eagle’s Wings Foundation (EWF), has been honored with the prestigious ACE Community Service and Philanthropy Industry Partner Award at the 2024 American Resort Development Association (ARDA) Awards. The ceremony took place at the Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 17, 2024.
This significant recognition reflects the unwavering commitment of Eagle’s Wings Foundation in making a profound impact on the Mexican resort destination communities where its partner entities operate: Puerto and Nuevo Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cancun, and the Islands of Loreto. Originally created by vacation club members and our resort Developer partners, Eagle’s Wings is a “sister foundation” supported by the personal donations of timeshare owners/members and matching contributions by the Developers. Over the years, Eagles Wings Foundation has delivered $3,000,000 in cash and in-kind donations to a wide variety of social and community causes including schools, libraries, educational scholarship programs, orphanages, homes and programs for the elderly, physical and occupational therapy, rehabilitation services, programs and facilities for special needs children and adults, food banks, medical and dental facilities, and others, with average grants ranging from $2,000-$15,000 depending on need.
ResortCom International, through its servicing relationship with Villa Group Resorts, Tafer Hotels and Resorts, EWF Loreto, and UVCI (Universal Vacation Club International), is a crucial partner to Eagle’s Wings Foundation and serves as its ‘voice’ to thousands of vacation club members. ResortCom staff are vital to humanizing the Foundation and educating members. Every phone call is an opportunity to spread awareness of the good work done in the resort communities through the charities Eagle’s Wings supports. Information on the Foundation’s mission and scope has been integrated into the training program for every Resortcom International new hire. ResortCom’s efforts directly affect the fundraising efforts of Eagle’s Wings by encouraging members to contribute to these vital causes.
