Junior Chamber International will hold its 16th golf fundraiser on May 17 at the Laolao Bay Golf Resort west course.
Organized by the local chapter of the JCI, the golf tournament aims to raise money to fund the group’s yearly cultural exchange program. This year, JCI CNMI again plans to bring local high school students to South Korea.
The tournament, dubbed simply as the JCI Golf Fundraiser, will have two categories—open and ladies. Champions from both division will each receive $300 and second and third placers will take home in-kind prizes.
It will utilize the Calloway system to compute the net scores of participants. Aside from the cash and in-kind prizes a spanking new 2008 Mazda MP3 sports sedan will be awarded to the lucky golfer who manages a hole-in-one in the JCI Golf Fundraiser.
Sign-up and registration for the event is 11:30am on game day itself, May 17.
Proceeds from the competition will help pay part of the expected $40,000 cost for JCI’s annual cultural exchange program to South Korea set for June 3 and 6.
Expected to join the golf fundraiser on May 17 are local Korean golfers, top government employees, members of the Legislature, and businessmen.
Entry fee for the golf fundraiser is $100 (inclusive of green fee) and also entitles participants to take part in the awards banquet set on the evening of the tournament at the Royal Taga Hall of the Saipan World Resort, beginning 6:30pm.
The Junior Chamber International Inc. is a worldwide organization with nearly 400,000 members spanning some 105 countries worldwide.
