All proceeds will go to the event’s six beneficiaries: Make-A-Wish® Foundation, Kagman High School Million Dollar Club, Marianas Behavioral Health International, Karidat, Empty Vessel Ministry Foundation, and the Northern Marianas Humanities Council.

The charity-driven Hyatt Regency Saipan 21st Annual Charity Golf Classic remains one of the island’s most favored tournaments and is grateful for the support from partnering organization MVA.
