VANCOUVER, Wash. – The 7th annual Columbia Credit Union McKibbin Legacy Classic—a charity golf tournament organized by Columbia Credit Union and presented by Vesta Hospitality paying tribute to the late John McKibbin—raised $47,456 for community nonprofit organizations.
“John McKibbin was a special presence in Clark County throughout his life, serving as a member of the Washington House of Representatives and a Clark County Commissioner, raising funds for causes important to him and making life better for the community at every turn,” the credit union. “The Columbia Credit Union McKibbin Legacy Classic honors his legacy by continuing the same spirit of enthusiastic charity.”
Proceeds from this year’s tournament support three organizations John McKibbin championed and that align with Columbia Credit Union’s core value of community: CDM Caregiving Services, Evergreen Habitat for Humanity, and Leadership Clark County (LCC).
Each nonprofit received a check for $15,818.64 at a Columbia Credit Union Operations Center presentation.
“Stories about John share his ability to inspire community leaders to mobilize, guide others, facilitate problem-solving and decision-making processes, and innovate to benefit the community,” said Lindsey Salvestrin, Columbia Credit Union president & CEO. “His ability to get people to work together toward a common goal was infectious, and exactly what this charity tournament is all about.”
