The 8th 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—took place August 22, 2024, and raised $174,847 for community nonprofit organizations. In addition to players’ and sponsors’ dollars, Columbia Credit Union applied for and received a 3:1 matching funds grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, quadrupling the total amount raised for charity.
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 our community. The Columbia Credit Union McKibbin Legacy Classic honors his legacy by continuing the same spirit of enthusiastic community service. Proceeds from this year’s tournament support three organizations John McKibbin championed that align with Columbia Credit Union’s core value of community: CDM Caregiving Services, Evergreen Habitat for Humanity, and Leadership Clark County (LCC).
“At Columbia Credit Union, we are honored to carry forward John McKibbin’s legacy of uniting and empowering our community,” said Columbia Credit Union President and CEO Lindsey Salvestrin. “Through initiatives like the Columbia Credit Union McKibbin Legacy Classic, we’re dedicated to supporting programs that enrich lives and foster partnerships—values that John embodied. This event brings our community together, advancing both Columbia Credit Union and John’s vision of making life better.”
