Columbia Credit Union raises $62,000 for nonprofits

VANCOUVER — The ninth 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 Aug. 21 and raised $62,000 for community nonprofit organizations.

John McKibbin served as a member of the Washington House of Representatives and as a Clark County commissioner. The Columbia Credit Union McKibbin Legacy Classic honors his service by continuing the same spirit of enthusiastic community devotion. Proceeds from this year’s tournament support three organizations McKibbin championed that align with Columbia Credit Union’s core value of community: CDM Caregiving Services, Evergreen Habitat for Humanity, and Leadership Clark County.

“John was a civil servant and passionate community advocate who left us far too soon, yet his impact continues to ripple through our lives nearly a decade later,” Columbia Credit Union President and CEO Lindsey Salvestrin said.
