IN a continuous demonstration of dedication and community support, Marpac Inc. has officially stepped up to the plate as the main sponsor of the Belau Amateur Softball Association Masters and Women’s League for the fifth consecutive year. The milestone was marked by a check presentation on Wednesday at the Marpac office.
Marpac representatives handed over a $4,000 contribution to BASA leadership, underscoring the company’s role as a cornerstone of softball in the community. The partnership ensures that both seasoned veterans of the masters division and powerhouse athletes of the Women’s division have the resources they need to compete at the highest level.
The hand-off featured key figures from both Marpac and BASA. Present were Marpac Resident Manager Guy Pudney, Consumer Sales Manager Bradley Babauta, and Beverage Sales Manager James Lee alongside BASA President Leo Bobai, Board Chairman Hector Efraim, Secretary Elsie S. Ngewakl, and Treasurer Timberley Ngewakl.
