We\u2019re glad to help the college in its effort to provide our youth access to higher education,\u201d McDonald\u2019s Joe Ayuyu Jr. said after the donation presentation to NMC Foundation and NMC officials.<\/p>\n<p>NMC Foundation is the non-profit arm of the college, raising funds through donations and hosting of events to help continue the operation of the school. The golf tournament is one of the fundraising events and this year\u2019s competition will be held on June 28 on the west course of the Laolao Bay Golf Resort.<\/p>\n<p>Mable Ayuyu echoed his brother\u2019s sentiments, saying it is very important to get a college degree to prepare future leaders of the CNMI and McDonald\u2019s and other members of the business community can help realize that goal by supporting the foundation and the college\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<p>McDonald\u2019s owner and president Joe Ayuyu Sr. joined wife Marcia and his children in the donation turnover ceremony yesterday and called on other businesses and fellow golfers to take part in next week\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe challenge other companies to follow McDonald\u2019s lead. Let\u2019s support the college. A little sacrifice, like passing on a lunch date, will help the college raise fund to continue its operation,\u201d added.<\/p>\n<p>NMC Foundation president Bill Santos received the donation and was joined in the check presentation by NMC acting president Dave Attao, Richard Villagomez, Floyd Masga, Jackie Che, and Tracy Guerrero.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of the NMC Foundation, we are deeply grateful to McDonald\u2019s and the Ayuyu family for their generous donation. As you know, the foundation is the non-profit arm of the NMC and all its investment will go to the college and eventually to our students, who will be our future leaders and can help make the Commonwealth a better place to live in,\u201d Santos said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, entrance fee in the golf tournament is only $95 and players can choose to enter in six different flights: Championship, A, B, C, Seniors, and Ladies.<\/p>\n<p>To register or for more information, contact Villagomez at 234-5498 ext. 6780 or email richard.villagomez@marianas.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McDonald\u2019s turned over its $5,000 donation for the 2014 NMC Foundation Open Golf Tournament during&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":39431,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[46,37,69,240],"class_list":["post-39428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-ceremony","tag-education-2","tag-nmc","tag-richard-villagomez"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
