The latest news from Northern Marianas College

Atkins Kroll Saipan recently announced that it will be offering a brand new 2023 Toyota 4Runner SR5 as a hole-in-one prize for Northern Marianas College Foundation’s Upcoming Golf Open in March.

“At Atkins Kroll Saipan, we are always looking for ways to give back to our community and support amazing causes,” Atkins Kroll Saipan General Manager Joel Lesh said. “That's why we are thrilled to offer a brand new Toyota 4Runner as the hole-in-one prize for the upcoming golf tournament. We believe this prize will add even more excitement to the event and help raise awareness and funds for the important work being done by the NMC Foundation. We can't wait to see who will be the lucky winner of the 4Runner, and we are proud to be part of such a meaningful event." 

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 will each receive $500. Second place finishers will receive $300 and third place finishers will receive $200. 

"The Foundation is thrilled to partner with Atkins Kroll Saipan for the upcoming golf tournament,” NMC Foundation Chairperson Ben Babauta said. “This generous offer from Atkins Kroll Saipan will add even more excitement to the event, and we are grateful for their continued support of our mission to provide students with access to high-quality education.”

This year’s tournament will feature thousands of dollars in amazing hole-in-one prizes, such as 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, a YETI cooler from Boarderline, a brand new 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5 SEL with Navigation and AWD and a brand new 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander from Triple J Motors, and a brand new 2023 Nissan Rogue from Joeten Motors. 

The tournament, which is the signature event of the NMC Foundation, aims to raise funds for the College for its rebuilding and reconstruction efforts. Despite 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 Foundation is seeking the CNMI private sector’s support through fundraising events like the golf tournament.
