The Joeten Group of Companies’ charitable arm, the Joeten Daidai Foundation, donated a total of $40,000 cash and in-kind to the American Red Cross-NMI Chapter last Tuesday, Dec. 11, to help relief efforts in the wake of Super Typhoon Yutu, which devastated Saipan and Tinian on Oct. 25, 2018.
“The American Red Cross is a well-structured, reputable organization which has been in existence for over 100 years,” said foundation executive director Patty T. Palacios. “With the assistance of the many devoted volunteers that have dedicated their time and efforts, we trust that the donation will surely reach those who are in need. The American Red Cross-NMI Chapter has proven time and time again its ability to respond quickly, efficiently, and effectively in the face of countless disasters. We are happy to support them in their commitment to helping our people, our island, our CNMI.”
The donation, disbursed by the Joeten Daidai Foundation, was supported by Joeten affiliates including Saipan Stevedore Co., Saipan Shipping Co., Pacifica Insurance Underwriters, Inc., as well business partners Nanbo Insurance Guam, CKW Financial Group Hawaii, B & B Enterprises, and LJC Corp, among others.
