Reaffirming its commitment to education and community development in the CNMI, First Hawaiian Bank has contributed $5,000 to the Northern Marianas College Foundation as a Gold Sponsor of the upcoming NMC Golf Open, scheduled for March 21 and 22, 2026.
“First Hawaiian Bank is pleased to support the NMC Golf Open and the long-term growth of Northern Marianas College,” said Vickie Izuka, Vice President of First Hawaiian Bank. “Strong educational institutions are essential to a resilient local economy, and we’re proud to invest in initiatives that help prepare students for meaningful careers here at home.”
NMC’s tournament will be a two-day event, and the tournament fee for the 2026 Golf Open is $250.
“We are grateful to First Hawaiian Bank for their continued partnership and generous support,” said Ben Babauta, Chairperson of the NMC Foundation. “Their $5,000 Gold Sponsorship strengthens this year’s tournament and directly supports programs that expand access and opportunity for our students.”
The tournament, which is the signature fundraising 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 greater access to quality education for residents of the CNMI.
