As part of its efforts to help the Northern Marianas College promote its upcoming golf tournament in March, radio station Power 99 recently donated $5,000 worth of radio advertisements to help market the event.

“Power 99 is proud to support the NMC golf tournament once again,” Power 99 General Manager Tina B. Palacios said. “Our radio station has always been a supporter of the College and its mission to provide quality higher education to the CNMI community.”

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.

“NMC is grateful to Power 99 for helping us promote the CNMI’s premier golf tournament,” NMC Foundation Board Chairperson Ben Babauta said.

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 College 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 This email address is being protected from spambots.
