As part of its commitment to support community organizations and projects, Bridge Capital LLC donated $5,000 to the Governor’s Tournament of Champions, which was held last Aug. 10 and 11.
“In 24 years the annual Governor’s Tournament of Champions has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars that benefit numerous community projects, including those that aim to raise the destination profiting the CNMI,” said Jody Jordahl, vice president/chief investment officer of Bridge Capital. “We are proud to be part of the event and we look forward to next year.”
“Bridge Capital’s contribution goes a long way to ensure the success of this year’s and previous Governor’s Tournaments of Champions,” said Ben Babauta, TOC tournament director. “We are grateful for the company’s unwavering support over the years.”
Since its inception, TOC has turned over more than $800,000 to the Saipan Beautification Fund, which has gone directly to improvements like the tree-lined traffic medians that stretch from Garapan to the former Palm Resort Saipan, as well as the revitalization of the Garapan special district. In addition, the Governor’s TOC has also contributed funds for the Paseo de Marianas, the lighting of the Saipan Beach pathway, and the beautification of the Port to Park pathway. Funds have also been donated to charitable organizations like the Commonwealth Cancer Association, and Northern Marianas Athletics. (PR)
