Green Gala tickets now on sale
Tickets are now on sale for Micronesia Islands Nature Alliance’s largest fundraiser of the year. With proceeds going toward the ongoing work to conserve the diverse natural resources of the region, this year is even more special, as MINA celebrates 10 years of working with communities to sustain the natural environment to ensure the island way of life.

The leading conservation nonprofit organization in the Commonwealth, MINA has successfully implemented various projects, including the Plastic Bag Challenge, Obyan Rehabilitation Project, Managaha Pride Campaign, Schools for Environmental Conservation workshops, Marine Debris Prevention Program, Tasi Watch Program, and Adopt-A-Bin Program, which has placed recycle bins at all the major beaches on the island.
To date, MINA has received support from various businesses for this year’s Green Gala, including The Shack Saipan, Bridge Capital LLC, Herman’s Modern Bakery, Pacifica Insurance, Pacific Islands Club, and Monika’s Gallery. In addition to lively entertainment, dinner, and a variety of beverages, the Green Gala will feature brief highlights from MINA’s projects, a silent auction, and many other activities that promises a memorable evening.
Last year’s Green Gala was sold out, so organizers are encouraging those who plan to attend to buy their tickets early. Tickets for the Green Gala event can be purchased at the MINA Office in Gualo Rai or from any of the volunteer board members. For more information on the Green Gala, or to find out more about MINA’s various projects, contact 233-REEF (7333). (MINA)
