The latest news from Northern Marianas College

Radio station KZMI 103.9 recently donated $5,000 worth of radio advertisements to the Northern Marianas College Foundation to help with its marketing efforts for their upcoming Golf Open in March.

“We are always glad to be able to support the Northern Marianas College Foundation and its mission of improving higher education in the Commonwealth,” KZMI 103.9 General Manager Bob Webb said. “All of us at KZMI wish all players the best of luck this coming tournament.”

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.

“KZMI’s continuing support is important to us,” NMC Foundation Chairperson Ben Babauta said. “We are grateful for the radio station’s contribution.”

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.
