17th John McCarthy Memorial breaks fundraising record

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) – Representatives of the Lookout Credit Union presented athletic directors and administration at Pocatello / Chubbuck 25 high schools on Thursday with a donation of $ 22,500.

The funds for the donation came from the long-running John McCarthy Memorial Golf Tournament, hosted by Lookout Credit Union. Cole Chevrolet and Cole Nissan Kia were the presenting sponsor for the fourth consecutive year. The donation was split evenly between Pocatello, Highland and Century high schools, and is used for athletic and extracurricular activities for students who may not be able to participate due to lack of funds. The tournament, which took place at the Highland Golf Course, sold out the number of team entries in record time and exceeded the expected number of prizes and sponsors this year.

“We are deeply grateful to our sponsors and golfers who, amidst the challenges of this year, helped make this the most successful John McCarthy Memorial golf tournament ever,” said BJ Fillingame, Vice President of Lookout Credit Union Marketing.

John McCarthy was a beloved teacher, trainer and administrator who dedicated 33 years to PCSD 25. Prior to his death in 2003, he was a strong supporter of athletics, extracurricular activities and community engagement. Lookout Credit Union is proud to carry on its legacy and is honored to donate in its memory each year.
