Dozens of companies have made in-kind contributions for this Saturday’s 19th Annual HANMI Charity Classic Golf Tournament at Coral Ocean Resort.

Glenn Policare, this year’s tournament committee chairman, thanked the companies for their many and diverse donations toward the game and the raffle drawing to be held at the awards luncheon.

“For me, this is a special tournament during an extraordinary time,” said Policare. “Our tournament was postponed past year for obvious reasons. We were hopeful to be able to raise support for the Northern Marianas Pacific Mini Games 2022 this year and the response has been overwhelming! Thank you one and all!”
