Pacifica Insurance takes swing at higher education with $5K hole-in-one donation at NMC Golf Open

In support of funding higher education in the CNMI, Pacifica Insurance Underwriters Inc. recently donated $5,000 to the Northern Marianas College Foundation for the upcoming Golf Open on March 23 and 24, 2024 as a hole-in-one prize on top of $1,500 in Education Tax Credit.

“Education is the key to unlocking success. It breaks barriers and creates traction. It is the one thing that no one can take away from us and I encourage everyone to climb higher with it by starting smart and starting at NMC,” said Pacifica Insurance president and CEO Shirley Sablan. “Let’s get excited and create momentum for the upcoming NMC Golf Open as proceeds will benefit the highly

anticipated state-of-the-art campus that the PROA family has been working long and hard for.”

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

“On behalf of NMC’s Foundation, we’re truly grateful to Pacifica Insurance for their commitment to lasting impact in higher education,” 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.
