(NMC) — As part of its efforts to support higher education in the CNMI, Marianas Pacific Distributors recently donated $5,000 in cash, in-kind prizes, and beverages to the Northern Marianas College Foundation for its golf open this weekend.
“We are thrilled to support the NMC Foundation and its mission to provide educational opportunities and resources for students in our community,” said Guy Pudney, resident manager of Marpac. “We wish all of the players in this weekend’s tournament the best of luck!”
For the first time, NMC’s tournament will be a two-day event and will be held on March 18 and 19, 2023, on the East and West Courses of the LaoLao Bay Golf and Resort. The tournament fee for the 2023 golf open is $250. First place winners in the Men’s Championship, A, B, C, Senior, and Ladies Flights (low gross and low net) will each receive $500. Second place finishers will receive $300 and third place finishers will receive $200.
“On behalf of the NMC Foundation, I would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Marpac and their generous contribution for the upcoming golf open,” NMC Foundation Chair Ben Babauta said. “We look forward to a successful golf open and a continued partnership with Marpac.”
This year’s tournament will feature thousands of dollars in amazing hole-in-one prizes, such as a brand new 2023 Toyota 4Runner SR5 from Atkins Kroll Saipan, a brand new 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5 SEL with Navigation and AWD and a brand new 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander from Triple J Motors, a brand new 2023 Nissan Rogue from Joeten Motors, a $10,000 shopping spree at Top Shelf Wine and Spirits, $10,000 from Ambyth Shipping and Seafix Inc., $5,000 from Pacifica Insurance, $3,000 from McDonald’s of Saipan, and a YETI cooler from Boarderline.
The tournament, which is the signature event of the NMC Foundation, aims to raise funds for the college for its rebuilding and reconstruction efforts. Following the devastation and destruction of Super Typhoon Soudelor and Yutu, the college has been aggressively seeking funds from all available sources to rebuild classrooms, offices, labs, and workforce spaces for the CNMI community. The NMC Foundation is seeking the CNMI private sector’s support through fundraising events like the golf tournament.
Interested companies and individuals who would like to help the college with its rebuilding efforts can donate educational tax credit, cash, or in-kind contributions by visiting www.marianas.edu/golf or by contacting NMC Foundation Coordinator Carla Sablan at [email protected] or (670) 237-6780.
