In support of island conservation and MINA\u2019s ongoing work, Chong\u2019s Corp. recently made a generous donation to MINA\u2019s upcoming event, The Green Gala. Their contribution of $1,000 adds them to the list of major sponsors for this annual fundraiser, which will be held on Friday, Sept. 19, 2014. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very lucky to have the growing support of our island\u2019s business community,\u201d said Brooke Nevitt, MINA\u2019s interim executive director. \u201cChong\u2019s Corp.\u2019s donation demonstrates their commitment to our organization and our work.\u201d <\/p>\n
The leading conservation nonprofit organization in the Commonwealth, MINA has successfully implemented many projects, including the Obyan Rehabilitation Project, the Teacher Environmental Camp, the Marine Debris Prevention program, and the Tasi Watch Project. The organization is supported by project grants and from generous contributions from local businesses and community members.<\/p>\n
In order to continue its efforts to preserve and protect the CNMI\u2019s fragile environment and biodiversity, MINA is seeking the community\u2019s participation in the Green Gala event. In addition to lively entertainment, dinner and a variety of beverages, the Green Gala will feature brief highlights from MINA\u2019s projects, a silent auction, and, many other activities that promise a memorable evening. <\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s Green Gala was sold out, so organizers are encouraging those who plan to attend to buy their tickets early. <\/p>\n
Tickets for the Green Gala event can be purchased at the MINA Office in Gualo Rai or from any of the volunteer Board members. <\/p>\n
