Josh P. Dandan, group quality assurance manager and human resource manager, said their sponsorship is intended to show their support in the fight against cancer.
“Cancer is a dreadful disease and Ambyth wants to show its support through its annual contribution. Unfortunately cancer continues to touch so many lives, including several members of the Ambyth family. We look forward to participating as a team in the coming years,” Dandan said.
Businesses, individuals, and organizations that also wish to support the 2015 MMAC may donate funds, services, or raffle items. Sponsorship levels include title sponsor (donating $3,000 or more), major sponsor (donating $1,000 to $2,999), or supporting sponsorship (donating $1 to $999).
Title sponsors this year are Delta Air Lines, Bank of Guam, Tan Holdings, Hyatt Regency Saipan, Joeten Daidai Foundation, Sorensen Media Group Saipan, Marianas Variety, and IT&E.
