- Guam International Country Club was the site of the annual Rick and Ronnie Un-Invitational Golf Tournament. The tournament is known for its off-the-wall rules and fun-natured games on each hole.
- 108 participants enjoyed a day of fun and laughter, all to raise funds for our Foundation.
- Newspaper quote from tournament organizer Rick Nauta from Hit Radio 100:
“This year, we made the ability to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation easier with our sponsorship design. Local businesses recognized our sincerity to donate as much as possible, so we crafted our sponsorship package to go directly to the MAWF and we sold sponsorships to every hole. This year, after all of the dust clears, we will be making a total donation to the MAWF of $4,700 and we could not have done it without the help of our 19 fine hole sponsors and golf teams. They have allowed us to more than double our previous year’s effort for the MAWF. Also, thanks to Budweiser, GTA and Moylan’s Insurance our presenters.”
