Bridge Capital Revitalizes Capital Hill Baseball Field with Fresh Paint

Bridge Capital LLC has stepped up to enhance the Capital Hill baseball field facility with a fresh coat of paint, contributing to the community through a public-private partnership.

According to Division of Parks and Recreation Director Mike Cruz, Bridge Capital generously funded the project with approximately $10,000 covering labor, supplies, materials, and surface preparation. “This initiative was completed without any government expense, thanks to Bridge Capital’s commitment to community improvement,” Cruz stated.

The repainting project, completed last week, addressed key areas of the facility, including the restrooms, dugouts, bleachers, press box, and pavilion. Cruz shared that he reached out to Bridge Capital after noticing the condition of the existing paintwork.

“Property manager Alex Palacios and I discussed ways to upgrade the facility, as it is widely used by the community every day,” Cruz said. “Bridge Capital was eager to give back, and we at the Parks and Recreation Division deeply appreciate their support. Partnerships like these are crucial because we can’t do it alone—we need collaboration between the public and private sectors.”

While the Division of Parks and Recreation will continue maintaining the facility, Cruz also encouraged the community to help preserve it and prevent vandalism, ensuring a welcoming space for everyone.

Bridge Capital remains dedicated to supporting initiatives that enhance the community and create lasting positive impacts.

Bridge Capital provides new signage and grounds upkeep for GES

BRIDGE Capital LLC Vice President Bart Jackson met recently with Garapan Elementary School Principal Derwin Johnson in front of the new school signage donated by the private company. 

For the past school year, Bridge Capital also donated ground maintenance services to the school as part of its Adopt-A-School Project. 

Jackson said Bridge Capital staff members have volunteered to cut grass, pressure wash, and perform other grounds upkeep work on the school campus. 

Ahead of the opening of the school year, in addition to volunteer ground maintenance, Garapan Elementary School also requested some new signage, which Bridge Capital provided. 

Jackson said his company is glad to help the community.  “We try and help them whenever they need help,” he added. “Bridge Capital is committed to doing whatever it can to improve the community and be a participant, and for us that means doing a lot of different things. Helping young people is among them. We really want to help the youth, help them learn, help them get an education. Anything we can do to support Garapan Elementary School we’re ready to do.”

Johnson said the sign is something the community can be proud of. He said he is grateful to Bridge Capital.

“We definitely appreciate the support,” he added. “There are a lot of businesses around us and just the fact that they [Bridge Capital] reached out and they’re here for the school’s needs — it’s a huge help.”

Bridge Capital is biggest sponsor of FESTPAC delegation

Bridge Capital is biggest sponsor of FESTPAC delegation

For over a decade, Bridge Capital LLC has been one of the CNMI’s biggest supporters of the arts; and it once again showed its dedication to the community of local artists with an over $10,000 donation to the CNMI delegation heading to the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture in Hawaii next month.

The turnover ceremony was held at Bridge Capital’s headquarters in Garapan last Wednesday.

The company picked the highest tier of sponsorship, the Ma’gas Galaide Sponsor, and donated $8,000 in cash and an estimated $8,000 in-kind sponsorship exceeding the tier’s amount of $8,000-$10,000.

On behalf of the FESTPAC delegation, planning committee chair Mary Margaret “Maggie” Sablan shared her gratitude for the donation, noting that the funds go a long way.

Bridge Capital’s Julie Ann Duenas spoke on behalf of the company and said, “Bridge Capital’s donation and participation in the FESTPAC 2024 is definitely an extension of our continued commitment and support of the arts be it visual arts, performing arts, or literary arts. It’s always an honor for Bridge Capital to support the local culture and the arts, especially the artists.”

With the company recently holding their 11th Annual Art Competition during the Flame Tree Art Festival last April, Duenas shared that the competition alone cost an estimated $30,000, showing the company’s dedication to artists in the CNMI.

“Basically, we want to give back to the community and our artists that always showcase the talent that we have here in the CNMI,” she said.

Duenas also added that the in-kind donation made to the FestPAC delegation was sending two Bridge Capital support staff.

Commonwealth Council for Arts and Culture director Sepe Gloriana Teuira, who will also serve as the 2024 CNMI FestPAC delegation’s state art representative, shared that the help from Bridge Capital was much appreciated, especially as they are currently short-staffed.

“We’re short-staffed as it is considering the venues where the groups are going to be, especially the performing artists, this is why we need the support staff.”

Teuira shared her gratitude to Bridge Capital as well.

“This is our biggest sponsor. We’re really appreciative of Bridge Capital and regardless of what events come out, you will always see their name on the banners, logos, and shirts—even if they tell us that times are tough, they still come out and give anyways.”
