Chamber golf tourney postponed to June 17

The Saipan Chamber of Commerce would like to inform the community of the new date for its highly anticipated 14th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament.

Due to the weather conditions associated with Typhoon Mawar and other logistical matters, the tournament has been postponed to June 17, 2023. The event will still take place at the beautiful LaoLao Bay Golf and Resort, west course, with showtime at 6am and shotgun at 7am.

The SCC two-person scramble annual golf tournament is an annual fundraising event that provides crucial financial support for the Saipan Chamber Scholarship Program, benefiting local students pursuing higher education and contributing to our community. It serves as a means to provide financial support to college and trade students who face financial shortfalls, enabling them to pursue their educational goals. 

In the Chamber’s last scholarship program, they proudly awarded 17 students from the Northern Marianas College and the Northern Marianas Technical Institute. This year, their focus extends beyond community college and trade education to include support for higher education in the Maritime trade.

The Chamber is committed to being a catalyst for change and development in our youth, who are the CNMI’s future leaders. None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of Chamber members, sponsors, players, and volunteers. On behalf of the Chamber Board of Directors and Executives team, the Chamber extends its deepest thanks and gratitude to all those who make it possible for the Chamber to support the youth and community.

The Chamber is also thrilled to announce an extension of the player registration deadline to May 31, 2023.
