Bridge Investment Group’s $3,000 cash donation was made to support MINA’s fundraising efforts. The Green Gala will be held today, Sept.2, 2016 at the Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan.
BIG chief executive officer Phillip Mendiola-Long and Stevedoring & Logistics chief Trenton Brian Conner paid a visit to MINA’s Gualo Rai office to deliver their company’s contribution.
The leading conservation nonprofit organization in the Commonwealth, MINA has worked to implement various conservation projects, including the Plastic Bag Challenge, the Schools for Environmental Conservation workshops, the Marine Debris Prevention program, Tasi Watch Program, the Adopt-A-Bin Project, and Managaha Pride Campaign.
In order to continue its efforts to preserve and protect the CNMI’s environment and biodiversity, MINA is seeking the community’s participation in the Green Gala event. The organization is supported by project grants and from generous contributions from local businesses and community members.
In addition to lively entertainment, dinner and a variety of beverages, the Green Gala will feature highlights from MINA’s projects, a silent auction, and many other activities that promise a memorable evening to celebrate over 10 years of working with island communities for conservation.
