“These 25 years have been a journey of growth and awareness, helping us understand and address the needs of Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas,” said Contreras de González. She highlighted the foundation’s commitment to education and its collaboration with Villa Group, whose matching contributions from employees amplify the foundation’s impact.
