Posted on Oct 09 2015
The Pacific Century Fellows–Marianas Chapter held its PCF 5K “Back On Our Feet” Run/Walk last Saturday, Oct. 3, with a great turnout from the community. A total of 320 participants took to the course, in what proved to be a very successful fundraising event to support the Tan Siu Lin Foundation’s Project Ayudu campaign to raise $150,000 for recovery efforts from the sale of T-shirts.
One-hundred percent of the proceeds from the 5K will go directly to CNMI Advocacy for Recovery Efforts to help repair and rebuild homes damaged by Typhoon Soudelor.
