Hyatt draws winners of the sweepstakes
After over a three-month campaign to raise funds to help the children of the world and the CNMI, Hyatt Regency Saipan put a finale on Jan. 1, 2000 by announcing the 16 winners of the “Children of the World Sweepstakes.”
Hyatt hosted the Children of the World Charity Sweepstakes contest to fulfill their commitment to the fundraising goals of helping the children and local charities.
A public drawing for the Sweepstakes was held in Hyatt’s Gilligan’s Entertainment Center at 11:30 am on New Year’s Day where the prizes were drawn by Gov. Pedro P. Tenorio, First Lady Sofie Tenorio, Lt. Gov. Jesus R. Sablan, House Speaker Diego Benavente, Mrs. Vicky Benavente and 1999 Miss CNMI Universe Cheryl Cabrera.
“This promotion was our way of starting the new millennium by helping the children of our future,” said Hyatt Regency Saipan general manager Mustafa Issa. “This promotion was developed to raise money for Hyatt International’s children’s charity projects, as well as our own Commonwealth Health Center Volunteers…The only thing we would expect in return is for the children to better their own lives and make a positive difference in the future.”
With Hyatt International’s recent announcement to leave all funds raised in the CNMI, Hyatt Regency Saipan will present a check to CHC Volunteers Association to help the local community, including improving the Pediatric Ward at the hospital.
The winning ticket number for the Grand Prize, which is the 1999 Volkswagen Bug automobile, went to Sablan Construction Company with the ticket number 23298.
