PHILIPSBURG:--- Orco Bank proudly sponsored the 29th edition of the St. Maarten Open, held on April 5th and 6th, 2025. This annual tournament organized by the St. Maarten Golf Association (SMGA) is highly anticipated and welcomes participants from across the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. The event's proceeds support local non-profit organizations, youth programs, and community services.
This sponsorship aligns with Orco Bank’s longstanding commitment to building stronger, more resilient communities. Since 2010, the St. Maarten Open has donated over USD $100,000 to impactful initiatives such as the Mental Health Foundation, LAB Sports Academy, Kids at Sea Foundation, St. Maarten Medical Center, and the SMGA Junior Golf Program. Supporting the tournament not only enhances visibility for regional athletic talent but also reinforces the bank’s mission to foster growth beyond banking.
Judy – King Richardson, Country Manager of Orco Bank Sint Maarten, expressed her pride in the partnership: “We believe in supporting initiatives that uplift our people and create lasting value for our island. The St. Maarten Open goes far beyond sport—it’s about investing in our youth, empowering local organizations, and building a stronger, united community. Orco Bank is honored to contribute to an event that shares these values and has such a meaningful impact.”
Orco Bank extends its gratitude to the St. Maarten Golf Association for their leadership and continued dedication to both the sport and the community. We also commend all participants and volunteers who made the event a success.
