The 8th Annual Foundation Open Open Golf Tournament, NMI announced yesterday, will be held at the Laolao Bay Golf Resort.
The proceeds of the golf tournament will be used to support NMC’s educational programs and services.
“Over the years, the NMC foundation Open has built a loyal following of golfers who are dedicated to helping the College,” NMC Foundation President Ben Babauta said.
“We are extremely thankful for their continued support and look forward to seeing them on the golf course in April,” he added.
Babauta also encourages golfers who have not played in the Foundation Open before.
“All funds raised will help our students meet their educational goals, so it’s a win-win situation for everyone,” he said.
With a shotgun start at 7 a.m., the tournament is a medal play format.
In addition to first, second, and third place prizes for the flights, the tournament will include hole-in-one prizes. The lucky golfer who makes a hole-in-one shot at the designated sites will win significant prizes donated by the tournament’s sponsors.
The entrance fee for the tournament is only $95 per player. Interested players are invited to bring their family, friends, and playing partners for a fantastic day of fun and fundraising for a good cause.
The NMC Foundation is also asking companies or individuals who can contribute company Education Tax Credit, monetary or in-kind donations to sponsor the tournament.
A special sponsors’ cocktail party will be held on April 23, 2010 at the Chambre Lounge at Fiesta Resort. Those interested in sponsoring the event or who are interested in registering to play can contact the Northern Marianas College at 234-5498 extension 1050 or 1051.
