At 45, TanHoldings is your strong community partner

TanHoldings has been actively involved in our island community for the past 45 years. Through the different Strategic Business Units and the Tan Siu Lin Foundation, it has made strides in environmental awareness, education, health and fitness, sports and, most recently, issues among veterans/first responders.

As a company, TanHoldings has regular, year-round beach cleanups and is involved in adopting a highway, participating in tree plantings, and most recently, outfitting the JP Center with “green” features such as solar-powered air conditioners and LED lights that are environment-friendly.
In education, the TSL Foundation has been offering scholarships through the Northern Marianas College. It has been awarding NMC students annually for nine years.

Over the last five years, the TSL Foundation has made shirt donations to the Public School System, as a means to inspire school spirit, as they had the school emblems printed. Each PSS student on all three islands gets this quality shirt.

For over 10 years now, TanHoldings has been involved as a team with the Marianas March Against Cancer, fielding a team and a booth, to support the cause. It is committed to the fight against cancer.

TanHoldings continues to be a huge supporter and partner of the sports community. Several of the companies under it sponsor different soccer clubs and make contributions to the different teams in various sports such as baseball, softball, basketball, paddling and tennis. Every year, TanHoldings sponsors and organizes basketball and futsal tournaments.

The company recently launched its 2nd Annual Lose Big, Win Big Saipan Edition and the 3rd Annual Lose Big, Win Big Corporate Edition. This year, participant level has increased from 191 individuals to 310. These individuals are in teams of two, and they are working on losing the most body fat by eating healthy and exercising.

Through the TSL Foundation, the Saipan Soccer School has been hosting a summer sports camp that features basketball and futsal over the years.

The company has also sponsored a summer internship program for high school students interested in pursuing a career in journalism, with an internship at the Saipan Tribune. That involved bringing students from Rota to Saipan to learn the ropes of journalism.

The company’s most recent community initiative is to raise awareness of post-traumatic stress and the need of our veterans and first responders for assistance with the launch of the “Field of Heroes” event throughout the Northern Mariana Islands.

This is the fourth year in which the TSL Foundation has co-sponsored the Pacific Century Fellows program—a platform for young leaders to learn more about current issues and how they can help.
