FHB signs on as a gold sponsor for NMC’s Golf Open

As part of its long-standing commitment to higher education in the CNMI, First Hawaiian Bank recently donated $5,000 to the Northern Marianas College Foundation for its upcoming Golf Open on March 23 and 24, 2024.

“At First Hawaiian Bank, we believe investing in our future means investing in our students. By supporting NMC’s Golf Open, we’re teeing off on a brighter future for the CNMI, opening doors to educational opportunities that strengthen our communities and propel our next generation forward,” said First Hawaiian Bank vice president and CNMI area manager Vickie Izuka.

NMC’s tournament will be a two-day event at the LaoLao Bay Golf and Resort and the tournament fee for the 2024 golf open is $250.

“FHB’s commitment to education through the NMC Golf Open is a powerful example of community partnership,” said Ben Babauta, chairperson of the NMC Foundation.

The tournament, which is also the signature event of the NMC Foundation, aims to raise funds to build and equip modern, innovative campus facilities that will help expand the CNMI’s workforce development efforts, stimulate economic growth, and provide access to quality education for the residents of the CNMI.
