The tournament fee for the 2023 golf open is $250.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe success of NMC Foundation\u2019s golf tournaments is largely due to the generosity and involvement of businesses like Bridge Capital,\u201d NMC Foundation Board chair Ben Babauta said. \u201cWe are greatly appreciative of their donation this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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 foundation is seeking the CNMI private sector\u2019s support through fundraising events like the golf tournament.<\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"mailto:carla.sablan@marianas.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">carla.sablan@marianas.edu<\/a> or (670) 237-6780.<\/p>\n<p>Golfers who would like to register for the upcoming tournament can also visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marianas.edu\/golf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.marianas.edu\/golf<\/a>.
