2. BUS TOUR – Each year Eagle’s Wings Foundation hosts a bus tour to local organizations so members can see their donation dollars in action. This year we are visiting two special organizations:
   1. Casa Hogar Maximo Cornejo AC - This loving orphanage provides a haven for over 25 children who are greatly in need of essential resources, warm hugs, and unconditional love. With dedicated caregivers and a nurturing environment, these children are given the opportunity to heal, grow, and thrive amidst their unique circumstances.
   2. Horizonte de Paz – This rehabilitation center is a beacon of hope for those combating the challenges of substance use disorder, depression, and personality disorders. By addressing the comprehensive aspects of environment, lifestyle, health, and psychological well-being, they facilitate a process of healing and offer a foundation of support upon which individuals can rebuild their lives, restore family dynamics, manage responsibilities, and give back to their communities.
3. GRANT CEREMONY AND LUNCHEON – Join us for a beautiful served luncheon and presentation that celebrates the phenomenal work our granted organizations are doing. The presentation includes photos and information documenting the projects your donations directly contributed to last year. The EWF Board will also present checks for newly granted funds. Representatives of the organizations will be invited, along with local Vallarta press and civic leaders, for this heartwarming and memorable event. Printed programs and recipient lists will be included as keepsakes.
4. DINNER PARTY - AUCTION - Cocktail/fancy dress is encouraged.  Details on specific auction items will be sent in advance and updated online prior to the meeting. Printed menu cards and prize listings will be included as keepsakes. This year’s recipients include the Scholarship fund for Villa Group employee children, the Casa Hogar Maximo orphanage, and Horizonte de Paz rehabilitation center.
5. DONOR RECOGNITION – EWF Day will have a special “keepsake” bracelet for admittance to the grant ceremony/lunch and the EWF auction/dinner.  This will be a separate bracelet than the one for Member Day.  Additionally, we will have “Donor” ribbons to attach to your name badge, a recognition board in the lobby, and your names will be listed on the Power Point presentation and on the Donor Page at the Eagle’s Wings website that is being developed.
   If anyone is interested in becoming a signature sponsor of the event and contributing a larger donation, please contact Cynthia Lasher – cynthial@myuvci.com or Ana Galvan – anag@resortcom.com.
6. RAFFLES – Eagle’s Wings Day ticket price of $100 includes lunch and dinner, and 20 raffle tickets. You do not need to be present at the auction event to win. Additional raffle tickets, the special raffle for a week at La Estancia, and individual bids on auction items will all be paid separately by members/patrons.
7. ONSITE REGISTRATION – for individuals not registered for Eagle’s Wings Day in advance, participation will be welcomed, space permitting, to members, hotel guests, staff and Vallarta locals who want to support EWF.  All EWF auction participants will be asked to complete a credit card authorization form (if not done in advance) to secure a paddle.
