Dial Rent-to-Own Donates $5,000 for College Foundation

As part of its mission to support higher education in the CNMI, Dial Rent-to-Own recently donated $5,000 to the Northern Marianas College Foundation. The donation was made in support of the upcoming 13th Annual NMC Foundation Open golf tournament scheduled for Saturday, April 30, 2016, at the LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort. “We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Dial Rent-to-Own for donating to the upcoming NMC Foundation Golf Tournament, especially as NMC celebrates 35 years of providing higher education in the CNMI. We are very thankful that they believe in the importance of supporting the college through our annual golf open event,” said NMC Foundation President Mable Ayuyu. The NMC Foundation is composed of community volunteers committed to the advancement of opportunities in support of higher education for students in the CNMI. The golf tournament is the NMC Foundation’s signature event that raises funds to support NMC’s academic programs and services. The tournament will be held at the LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort (West Course) and will have separate flight categories: Championship, A, B, C, Seniors, and Ladies. The entrance fee is $100 per player. Payments for the entrance fee can be made at LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort, and the NMC Cashier.
