ON Dec. 3, 2022, McDonald’s of Guam and Saipan in partnership with the Jose and Ruri Ayuyu Foundation held the 2nd Annual McDonald’s of Guam and Saipan Golf Classic and raised over $30,000! The Jose and Ruri Ayuyu Foundation has donated to Make-A-Wish in Guam, Salvation Army and Karidat in Saipan. All three organizations greatly appreciate the kind donations and have plans on bettering the community. The Rotaract Club of Saipan has brought in volunteers during the 2nd Annual Golf Classic and the Jose and Ruri Ayuyu Foundation is very grateful for the support of the volunteers and have donated to Rotaract as well.
Lauri Ogumoro, executive director of Karidat, told the foundation: “The Karidat board of directors and I are honored that you chose Karidat to receive $3,000 from the McDonald’s Charity Golf Tournament held on December 3, 2022. Karidat plans to use the proceeds from the donation to fill the gaps in our unfunded client needs category. Unfunded client needs encompass many things from helping a survivor take back her name and get a new passport, emergency rental assistance for eligible families, or by restocking the Karidat Food Pantry in-between donations of canned food from the community. These are but a few examples of the kinds of requests for help our case workers hear from those seeking assistance from Karidat. We are ever so grateful for your support in these difficult times.”
From Richard Enrico Baleares:
“On behalf of the Rotaract Club of Saipan, we are very grateful and appreciative of everything McDonald’s has done. As we are striving to improve, we have many upcoming events that will bring our young community together such as New Generation, hosting another gaming tournament, and Self Care Professional Development. We want to bring awareness to Rotaract because of the safe space it creates for people and you get to develop everlasting friendships and skills.”
