Park Place Foundation Group is looking forward to working closely with the nonprofit organization Cruise 4 Kids that hosts The Teddy Ball and The Bunny Ball in the spring.

Park Place Foundation Group Pays It Forward At The Bannister Family House

Joe Costa's new foundation,  Park Place Foundation Group, is looking to pay it forward by hosting a meal at San Diego's Bannister Family House.  The  Bannister Family House was opened in 1994 for families whose relatives are receiving medical care with the UC San Diego Health System.  It provides an affordable place for families to stay and feel like they are being surrounded by the comforts of home.  The BFH is not only a place to sleep but also a place to eat, do laundry, relax, and meet other families going through a similar experience. Joe, his co-chair Marni Wolf, and their children will work together to come up with a lunch menu to be served to the guests.  The children are excited to be a part of the foundation and helping give back to their community and other families in need.  Park Place Foundation Group will also be donating canned goods as well as the meal to be served.  Joe will be talking about the upcoming event on his weekly radio segment,  "Joe Costa Mortgage Notes" on 1170 am Friday from 7-9pm on San Diego's The Answer.  For more information about getting involved with the foundation or donating canned goods to The Bannister Family House please contact Joe Costa at joe@parkplacefg.com or Marni Wolf at marni@parkplacefg.com.

Park Place Foundation Group Pays it Forward at Father Joe's Villages and Then Gets Paid Right Back

Joe Costa embarked on his new foundation's, Park Place Foundation Group, first volunteer event at San Diego's Father Joe's Villages. In attendance were Joe's twin boys Hudson and Presley Costa, his Co Chair, Marni Wolf, and her two daughters Jordan and Carly Wolf, and a friend Mason Sandford. It was a great experience helping serve lunch to people that would otherwise go hungry if not for the all of the wonderful people at Father Joe's.

When we first arrived we were taken back to the kitchen where we washed our hands and put on aprons, gloves, and hair nets.  Everyone was given a job from taking plates to serving the different food options.  The kids ages 11-13 did a great job keeping the line moving along and making sure that everyone got exactly what they wanted.  It was a very humbling experience to be able to help people who are basically in survival mode.  To see a mom and her five young children really hit home especially since we were doing this with our own children.

Everything seemed to be moving along very smoothly until my youngest daughter tapped my shoulder and said she couldn't see and that everything was black.  I held on to her tightly when Joe walked up to me noticing that something was not quite right. He grabbed onto her just as her eyes started to roll back into her head and her legs collapsed and she went unconscious. We placed her gently on the ground and rolled her on her side.  At this point I was so panicked, but luckily she quickly came to.  All of the people at Father Joe's were at her side fanning her and putting ice under neck to make her feel more comfortable and safe while they were calling the paramedics.

In the end, Park Place Foundation Group's first volunteer event encompassed two very important life lessons: giving back and appreciating the delicacy of our lives.

Park Place Foundation Group Pays It Forward in New York City

Joe Costa, San Diego, California's residential mortgage professional, took his foundation Park Place Foundation Group from west to east and enjoyed Paying It Forward in New York City. "I strive to teach my children the importance of helping people that are in need. I have been very fortunate to have my own successful mortgage company.  I have always loved helping people to purchase new homes or save money by refinancing their current homes, so to be able to create a charitable foundation and help people that are less fortunate than myself is truly a gift that I can give to my children."  For more information on how to help or donate please contact Joe Costa at joe@parkplacefg.com or (646) 245-7856.
