Team Koka and VOICES of the CNMI-Tinian Chapter had a good turnout on their first weekend for “Ball for MD,” a basketball event intended to raise awareness about muscular dystrophy.
This two-weekend event was organized by non-profit organizations. Last Saturday, the elementary, junior, and high school divisions competed. The last weekend in September is for the adult division.
The first weekend was dedicated to those with lymphoma and the last weekend to those with limb girdle muscular dystrophy. This event served several purposes: awareness, activities for both youth and adults and volunteerism.
