Continuing its support for higher education in the CNMI, the Tan Siu Lin Foundation has contributed $10,000 to the Northern Marianas College Foundation as a Platinum Sponsor of the upcoming NMC Golf Open, scheduled for March 21 and 22, 2026.
“Education remains one of the strongest investments we can make in our community,” said Merlie Tolentino, Executive Director of the Tan Siu Lin Foundation. “Through our support of the NMC Golf Open, we are proud to help advance opportunities for students and contribute to the long-term growth and resilience of the CNMI.”
The NMC Golf Open will be a two-day tournament held at LaoLao Bay Golf and Resort, with a registration fee of $250 per player.
“The continued support of the Tan Siu Lin Foundation is instrumental to the success of our Foundation’s initiatives,” said Ben Babauta, Chairperson of the NMC Foundation. “Their commitment helps Northern Marianas College expand access to education and strengthen workforce development efforts across the Commonwealth.”
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.
Like previous tournaments, this year’s event will feature thousands of dollars in prizes, including a $15,000 cash prize sponsored by Pacifica Insurance Underwriters, among other exciting giveaways.
